Summer Corn, Tomato, and Salmon Salad with Za'atar Dressing image

When corn and tomatoes are ripe, let them shine in simple preparations like this refreshing, time-saving dinner, in which the salmon is poached in the same thyme- and garlic-infused water that the corn is boiled in.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Kosher salt
2 lemons
3 garlic cloves, crushed
3 sprigs thyme
3 bay leaves, preferably fresh
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons za'atar, plus more for serving
5 ears corn on the cob, husked
4 (5-6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets
2 medium heirloom tomatoes, cut into wedges (about 1 1/2 pounds)
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
Baby arugula or other baby greens (for serving)

Steps:

  • Generously salt a large pot of water (it should taste like the ocean). Thinly slice half of 1 lemon and add to water along with garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then let boil at least 3 minutes and up to 10 to infuse water.
  • Meanwhile, whisk oil, 3 Tbsp. lemon juice, 4 tsp. za'atar, and 1 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
  • Add corn to boiling water and cook until bright yellow and tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Reduce heat to low, gently add salmon, and poach just until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board with a slotted spoon or spatula and flake into chunks.
  • Meanwhile, slice corn off cob into a large bowl. Add tomatoes and onion, then toss with 1/2 cup dressing.
  • Add flaked salmon to corn mixture and toss very gently just to coat with dressing. Transfer to a serving platter or divide among plates. Top with arugula, then drizzle with remaining dressing. Serve with additional za'atar alongside.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover salmon. I also like to add other vegetables, such as zucchini or bell peppers. The dressing is also really good.
