Time 40m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 medium green bell pepper
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons of your favorite BBQ rub (preferably salt-free)
1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen corn kernels, thawed if frozen
2 tablespoons crumbled Cotija cheese
1 tablespoon 0-percent plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro leaves, chopped, plus whole leaves, for serving
Two 6-ounce center-cut salmon fillets (preferably wild-caught)
2 teaspoons dijonnaise
Lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Slice the bottom and stem ends off the pepper and cut the ends into corn kernel-size pieces. Remove the seeds and cut the pepper into 4 rings.
  • Scatter the tomatoes down the center of a baking sheet and arrange the pepper rings next to the tomatoes on whichever side you'd like. Drizzle 1 teaspoon of the oil over the tomatoes and sprinkle with salt, pepper and about half of the BBQ rub. Toss together the corn, pepper pieces, cheese, yogurt, cilantro, a large pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a bowl. Fill the pepper rings with the corn mixture. Bake the vegetables until slightly browned, about 20 minutes.
  • While the vegetables are in the oven, brush each salmon fillet with dijonnaise and sprinkle with the remaining BBQ rub, some salt and a few grinds of pepper.
  • Once the vegetables are browned, remove the baking sheet from the oven and drizzle the empty side with the remaining 1 teaspoon oil. Add the fillets, return to the oven and cook until the sides of the salmon feel firm when gently squeezed and the flesh is just slightly flaky, 5 minutes more. Sprinkle with cilantro leaves and serve with lime wedges.

1 pound fingerling potatoes, halved lengthwise
3/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
Kosher salt

Four 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets

Return to the oven and roast until the broccoli is crisp-tender and the salmon is just cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from the oven and immediately squeeze the juice from the reserved lemon over the salmon, broccoli and potatoes.

Tips:

  • Choose the right salmon fillets: Look for fillets that are about 1 inch thick and have a nice, even color. Avoid fillets that are too thin or have any dark spots.
  • Season the salmon fillets well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and your favorite herbs and spices. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil.
  • Roast the salmon fillets at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy skin and a tender, flaky interior.
  • Don't overcook the salmon fillets: Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it just until it's cooked through. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
  • Serve the salmon fillets with your favorite sides: Roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad are all great options.
