Lemon Grilled Salmon With Corn Salad image

A recipe for the adventuresome from March 2009 issue of BH&G. The recipe creator's name is Priscilla Yee from Concord, CA and she won $2500 for this recipe!! (The idea of blueberries mixed in a corn salad intrigued me, and love all the ingredients so I made this. DS and I liked it a lot, not DH-think the cumin might have been too much for him so if you have a dislike for cumin you should reduce it.) Priscilla was inspired to create this recipe b/c of "her father's post-heart attack switch to a healthier diet. She created this dish with some of her favorite healthful foods. Dad? He just turned 90." Love that story.:) Feel free to sub in green onion tops for the chives. After reading Chef#1227141 review I agree a bit of paprika on the salmon would be even better! I served with brown rice but a noodle thing would be good too. You could make the corn salad a day ahead, I did and it kept very well but I think it tastes better at room temperature.

This recipe was a disaster! The salmon was overcooked and the corn salad was bland. I would not recommend this recipe to anyone.

Overall, this was a good recipe. The salmon was cooked well and the corn salad was tasty. However, I would have liked the sauce to have a bit more flavor.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I would recommend using less salt in the marinade.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salmon turned out dry. I think I would cook it for a shorter amount of time next time.

This lemon-grilled salmon with corn salad was an absolute delight! The salmon was cooked to perfection, with a crispy skin and a tender, flaky interior. The corn salad was the perfect accompaniment, with its sweet and tangy dressing. I highly recomme
