How to Make Alaska Salmon W Tomatillo Sauce Fresh Corn Poblano Chile

  1. **Prepare the Tomatillo Salsa:** Combine tomatillos, serrano chilies, cilantro, and lime juice in a blender. Puree until completely smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. **Char the Corn:** Preheat grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Husk the corn and grill, turning occasionally, until kernels are tender and slightly charred (about 8-10 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Once cool, slice kernels off the cob.
  3. **Roast the Poblano Peppers:** Preheat broiler. Roast poblano peppers, turning occasionally, until skin is blackened in places (about 8-10 minutes). Place in a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and let steam for 10 minutes. Once cool enough to handle, peel, remove seeds, and roughly chop.
  4. **Make the Corn Mixture:** In a saucepan, heat heavy cream (or coconut cream) over medium heat. Simmer until reduced by half (about 5-7 minutes). Stir in the charred corn kernels and chopped poblanos. Keep warm.
  5. **Grill the Zucchini (Optional):** Preheat grill or grill pan to medium heat. Grill zucchini slices until tender and slightly charred (about 3-4 minutes per side).
  6. **Cook the Salmon:** Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook salmon for 4-5 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
  7. **Assemble the Dish:** Place 2 ounces of chilled tomatillo salsa in the center of each serving plate. Top with a spoonful of the warm corn and poblano mixture. Place a salmon fillet on top of the corn mixture.
  8. **Serve:** Garnish with grilled zucchini slices (optional) and serve immediately. Enjoy!
