GRILLED SALMON WITH BACON AND CORN RELISH image

Categories     Bacon     Corn     Fish

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 slices bacon, cut crosswise into 1/2-inch pieces
2 ears white corn
1/4 cup green onions, chopped (white and light green parts separated from green tops)
1/4 cup red bell pepper, diced
2 pinches (divided/or to taste) cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 tablespoon (or more to taste) rice vinegar
1/2 teaspoon vegetable oil, salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 (8 ounce) center-cut boneless salmon fillets
1 cup (optional) 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.
  • Note: I didn't have any in the garden, but a little fresh tarragon is great in this too.

I'm allergic to bacon. Do you think I could substitute something else in the relish?

I'm not sure about the bacon and corn relish. I think I'll just serve the salmon with a lemon butter sauce.

I would love to try this recipe, but I don't have a grill. Do you think it would work to cook the salmon in a skillet?
