Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) Alaska salmon fillets
• 6 medium (husked and rinsed) Tomatillos
• 2 large Garlic cloves
• 2 large Poblano chile
• 1.5 cups Fresh corn kernels
• 0.25 cup (chopped) Cilantro
• 2 tablespoons (freshly squeezed) Lime juice
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 1.5 teaspoons (divided) Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup Water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.

Step 2

Place the poblano chiles directly over a gas burner or under a broiler, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered all over (about 5-7 minutes). Transfer to a bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap or a lid. Let sit for 10 minutes, then peel off the charred skins, remove seeds, and chop finely. Set aside.

Step 3

Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Quarter the tomatillos and add them to the boiling water. Simmer for about 5 minutes or until softened. Drain and set aside.

Step 4

In a blender, combine the cooked tomatillos, garlic cloves, 2 tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, ground cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, and water. Blend until smooth to create the tomatillo sauce. Adjust seasoning as needed and set aside.

Step 5

Season the Alaska salmon fillets with the remaining 0.5 teaspoon of salt and the black pepper on both sides.

Step 6

Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon fillets, skin side down (if applicable), and sear for 2-3 minutes or until the skin is crisp. Flip the fillets and sear the other side for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 8

While the salmon cooks, heat a dry skillet over medium heat. Add the fresh corn kernels and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until lightly charred. Stir in the chopped poblano chiles and cook for 1 more minute.

Step 9

To serve, spoon a generous amount of tomatillo sauce onto each plate. Place a salmon fillet on top and garnish with the corn and poblano mixture. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro for a fresh finish.
