You are really going to love this exciting and vibrant new way to use salmon. It's dressed up with an easy and summery relish. Did I mention there will be bacon? Oh, yeah.

Provided by Chef John

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Seafood Main Dish Recipes     Salmon     Salmon Fillet Recipes

Time 45m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

6 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
2 ears white corn
¼ cup chopped green onions - white and light green parts separated from green tops
¼ cup diced red bell pepper
salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon rice vinegar, or more to taste
½ teaspoon vegetable oil
2 (8 ounce) center-cut boneless salmon fillets
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 cup fresh spinach leaves

Steps:

  • Preheat an outdoor grill (preferably charcoal) for high heat and lightly oil the grate.
  • Place bacon in a skillet over medium heat and cook until browned and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Cut kernels from corn ears into a large bowl using a sharp knife held at a 45-degree angle. Scrape cobs with the back of the knife into the bowl to get the juices.
  • Stir white and light green parts of green onions into bacon and add red bell pepper; cook and stir until vegetables just start to become tender, about 2 minutes. Stir corn into bacon mixture and let corn just warm through. Season with salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, a few chopped dark green onion tops, olive oil, and rice vinegar. Turn off heat under relish.
  • Spread vegetable oil onto both sides of salmon fillets and season fish with salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • Cook on preheated grill until fish shows good grill marks, the flesh flakes easily, and fish is still slightly pink in the center, about 5 minutes per side. A crack that opens up in the salmon flesh as you cook will let you see how done the salmon is in the middle.
  • Divide spinach leaves onto 2 plates and top each with a salmon fillet and half the bacon relish. Sprinkle on a few green onion tops for garnish.

BACON AND SCALLION CORN MUFFINS



Bacon and Scallion Corn Muffins image

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     side-dish

Time 50m

Yield 12 muffins

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 teaspoon hot sauce
8 ounces (about 8 slices) applewood-smoked bacon, cut into 1/3-inch pieces
1 1/3 cups buttermilk, at room temperature
2 large eggs, at room temperature
1 1/3 cups yellow cornmeal (about 7 ounces)
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour (6 to 6 1/2 ounces)
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 sticks chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
5 large scallions (green onions), chopped

Steps:

  • Position an oven rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 400 degrees F. Line a standard 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, cook the bacon, over medium heat until crisp and brown. Transfer the bacon to paper towels; drain and cool.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, hot sauce and eggs. Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, salt and pepper in a food processor. Drop in the cold butter cubes. Using on/off turns, blend until the butter is cut in finely and the mixture resembles a coarse meal. Pour the dry ingredients over the buttermilk mixture. Scatter the bacon and green onions over the batter. Using a thin, flexible spatula, fold the batter together, scraping up the liquids from the bottom each time and turning the bowl as you fold. Do not over-fold; some dry patches are fine. Using a rounded 1/3 cup of batter for each muffin, fill the paper liners.
  • Bake until puffed and browning at edges, and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean, 18 to 20 minutes. Let the muffins stand 5 to 10 minutes. Twist each muffin in place to loosen the edges from the pan. Lift the muffins out onto a rack and cool.

CORN, BACON AND CHEDDAR PIE WITH PICKLED JALAPEñOS



Corn, Bacon and Cheddar Pie With Pickled Jalapeños image

Corn kernels make this quiche-like pie juicy-sweet. Bacon, jalapeño and quick-pickled onions make it deeply savory, and a custard of sour cream, eggs and Cheddar adds a delightfully gooey texture. A touch of cornmeal in the dough makes the crust extra crunchy, and its corn flavor echoes the filling. You can bake this in the height of corn season with fresh kernels, or in the depths of winter with frozen. It will be just as richly satisfying any time of the year.

1 cup/130 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for rolling
1/4 cup/40 grams cornmeal
1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
1/2 cup/115 grams cold unsalted butter (1 stick), cubed
3 to 6 tablespoons ice water
1 small red onion
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more as needed
Pinch of granulated sugar
4 ounces bacon (4 slices), diced
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels (from 2 small ears if fresh)
2 tablespoons chopped pickled jalapeño, plus more slices for topping
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
3 large eggs
3/4 cup coarsely shredded sharp Cheddar (3 ounces)
3 tablespoons chopped parsley

Steps:

  • Prepare the crust: In the bowl of a food processor fitted with the blade attachment, or in a large bowl, pulse or mix together flour, cornmeal and salt until combined. Add butter, and either pulse or use your finger to smoosh it in until butter is the size of lima beans. Add ice water, 1 tablespoon at a time, and pulse or mix just until dough comes together. There should still be large flecks of butter left in dough. Shape dough into a disk and wrap in plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 1 hour before baking. (Dough can be made up to 5 days ahead.)
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out dough into a 12-inch circle. Transfer dough to a 9-inch pie plate; trim and crimp edges. Chill for 30 minutes.
  • Heat oven to 425 degrees. Prick the bottom of the pie with a fork. Line with foil or parchment paper and fill with pie weights, dried beans or rice. Bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil or paper and pie weights or beans. Bake until pale golden and dry to the touch, about 5 to 7 minutes more. Reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees.
  • While crust is chilling and baking, prepare the filling: Cut red onion in half across the equator (not root to stem), then from the center, cut out two very thin, round slices. Separate onion slices into rings and put them in a bowl with lime juice and a pinch each of salt and sugar. Set aside while you assemble the rest of the tart. Coarsely chop remaining onion and set aside.
  • Scatter bacon in a cold 12-inch skillet. Turn heat to medium, and cook until the bacon is golden and the fat has rendered, 10 to 14 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate. Leave fat in the skillet.
  • Stir chopped onion into pan with bacon fat and place over medium heat. Sauté until golden-edged and translucent, about 6 minutes. Stir in corn, 1/2 teaspoon salt and chopped pickled jalapeño. Cook until corn is tender, 2 to 5 minutes.
  • Remove from heat and scoop 1/2 cup corn mixture into a blender. Add cream, sour cream and eggs. Blend until you get a thick purée. Using a spatula, scrape corn purée back in pan with whole corn kernels, and stir in 1/2 cup Cheddar, the parsley and the cooked bacon. Scrape into baked pie shell.
  • Top filling mixture with pickled red onion slices and jalapeño slices. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Cheddar.
  • Bake until puffed, golden and just set, 35 to 45 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature.

CORN AND BACON SALAD



Corn and Bacon Salad image

This is a great recipe that I've modified over the years. The flavors are terrific and the ingredients and ratios are very flexible. Adapt to make it your own specialty. Great for picnics and pot lucks. This recipe is very flexible. It is a great, clean-out-the-refrigerator kind of dish. It also stores well and actually tastes better the next day. Serve warm or chilled.
