Grilled Salmon with Bacon and Corn Relish image

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.

SALMON WITH CUCUMBER-RADISH RELISH



Salmon with Cucumber-Radish Relish image

Roasting a side of salmon is a quick, simple way to feed a group. Use tweezers or small pliers to remove any remaining pin bones your fishmonger may have overlooked.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes     Salmon Recipes

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 side of salmon (about 2 1/2 pounds; preferably wild), skinned
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup diced radish
1/2 cup diced, peeled English cucumber
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
3 tablespoons thinly sliced scallions (about 2)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and drizzle with 2 teaspoons oil. Season with salt and pepper. Roast salmon until just cooked through (it will be opaque around edges), 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, stir together radish, cucumber, horseradish, scallions, and remaining teaspoon oil until combined. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with salmon.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Look for fish that is bright pink in color and has a mild, briny smell.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the salmon into even pieces. This will help ensure that the fish cooks evenly.
  • Cook the salmon over medium heat. This will help prevent the fish from overcooking and becoming dry.
  • Baste the salmon with melted butter or olive oil as it cooks. This will help keep the fish moist and flavorful.
  • Serve the salmon immediately with your favorite sides. Some good options include roasted vegetables, steamed rice, or a fresh salad.
  • For the relish, combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and stir until well combined. You can make the relish ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

This savory summer salmon and refreshing relish is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a summer party or a weeknight dinner.
