"Salmon are like men: too soft a life is not good for them." -James de Coquet, French writer and gourmand

The refrigerator light goes on...

The amount of calories seems like a lot for a single entrée, but this includes the corn relish, which is a starch, and there are plenty of vegetables. A complete plate. Pair this with a simple salad and you have the perfect meal for a dinner party.


 

Roasted Salmon with Corn Relish - Coumadin-Safe Version

Servings: 2 | Serving size: 1 - 4 ounce salmon filet and relish

Cooking Time: 30 Minutes

This recipe can easily be multiplied and leftovers are great. I like to make sandwiches from the salmon and relish but both go well chilled on top of salads.

Roasted Salmon and Corn Relish recipe from Dr. Gourmet

Ingredients

Relish

  • 1 large red bell pepper
  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 2 cups (~ 2 ears) corn kernels
  • 1 small shallot (minced)
  • 2 clove garlic (minced)
  • 1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
  • 4 Tbsp. dry white wine
  • 2 tsp. lime zest
  • 1 lime (juiced)
  • 2 tsp. honey
  • 2 Tbsp. fresh cilantro (coarsely chopped)
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Sauce

  • 1 tsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 lime (juiced)
  • 1 tsp. honey
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika or smoked paprika
  • 1/8 tsp. salt

Fish

  • 2 - 4 ounce salmon filets (skinned)

Preheat oven to broil. Place the pepper in the oven and char, turning about every 3 minutes until black on all sides. Remove and place in a paper bag.

After about ten to twenty minutes remove peppers from bag. Peel, seed and set aside 1/2 of the pepper in the refrigerator for later. Cut the remaining pepper into 1/2-inch pieces.

Heat the olive oil in heavy large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the corn, the shallot, and the garlic. Sauté gently until the corn begins to brown.

Add the thyme and white wine. Cook over low heat until the wine evaporates.

Stir in bell peppers, lime juice, honey, salt, and cilantro. Remove from heat. The relish can be made up to 24 hours in advance and reheated gently while the salmon is roasting.

Stir together the 1 Tbsp. olive oil, lime juice, honey, paprika and salt. The sauce can be made up to 24 hours in advance.

When ready to serve preheat oven to 400°F.

Line a roasting pan or skillet with foil. Place salmon in middle and top with the sauce. Place in the hot oven and roast for about ten minutes.

While the salmon is roasting gently reheat the corn relish.

Remove the salmon and top each filet with 1/4 of the relish.
