GRILLED SALMON WITH CORN SALSA

Steps:

• To make the grilled salmon marinade, combine the orange juice, white wine, ground achiote, lemon pepper, olive oil and salt in a container with an air tight lid. Shake well until the ingredients are mixed together.
• Pour the marinade over the fish, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
• To make the corn salsa, remove the husks and silky hairs from the corn. Use a knife to cut the corn kernels from the cob.
• Toss the corn kernels with oil, salt and pepper and roast them in a pre-heated oven at 425 F for 20-25 minutes. Stir the corn after 10 minutes of roasting to help them roast evenly.
• Let the corn cool down and then mix with the quartered cherry tomatoes, chopped red onions, cilantro, jalapeno, lime juice, olive oil, salt and pepper. Refrigerate until ready to use
• Pre-heat the grill and cook the salmon to desired doneness. This will vary based on your grill, I use a small electric grill for fish and set it on the max heat level, it usually takes 5-6 minutes for the salmon to be cooked but still moist.
• Serve the salmon topped with the corn salsa and your choice of side dishes.
