Ingredients
  

  • FOR THE DRESSING
  • ¼ cup cilantro leaves
  • ¼ cup parsley leaves
  • 1 green onion
  • zest and juice of 2 limes
  • ¼ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • FOR THE SALAD
  • 1 cup corn kernels
  • 1 whole tomato diced
  • 8 cups salad greens
  • cucumber carrots, peppers, or any other salad veggies
  • FOR THE SALMON
  • 1 ⅓ pound salmon filet cut into 4 pieces
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon smoked paprika

Instructions
 

  • Make the dressing. Combine all dressing ingredients in a small food processor or blender until smooth. Taste, and add water to thin if needed or extra salt for flavor.
  • Preheat a large ovenproof skillet to medium-high heat and the broiler to high. Add a drizzle of oil to the skillet. When the oil is very hot, add the corn kernels and char for 3 minutes until slightly dark at the edges. Remove from the skillet to cool and combine with the diced tomatoes.
  • To the same skillet, add the salmon skin-side down, and sprinkle with the salt, chili powder, and smoked paprika. Cook the salmon for about 4 minutes until the skin is crispy and the salmon begins to cook up the sides, then transfer the skillet to the oven to finish by broiling the fish for 3 minutes until the spices are slightly golden.
  • Arrange the salad greens, salmon, and corn mixture on plates. Drizzle with the cilantro dressing and serve.
