CHILE RUBBED SALMON WITH TOASTED CORN VINAIGRETTE

Steps:

• Preheat grill to medium high.

Remove from the grill and use a knife to scrape the kernels off into a bowl. Whisk together the lime juice, honey and jalapeno. Slowly whisk in the olive oil . Pour over the corn, season with salt and pepper, add the onions and cilantro and toss to combine.
