Ingredients
- 4 boneless salmon fillets
- 4 ears white corn
- 6 slices bacon,
- ½ cup chopped green onions
- ½ cup diced red bell pepper
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper,
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves
Instructions
- Preheat an outdoor grill 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, and olive oli. 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.
- 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.
