Directions

  • Salsa Preparation: In small bowl, combine garlic, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, corn kernels,
    tomatoes, onion, and cilantro.
  • A sweet onion can be substituted for the red onion if a milder onion flavor is desired.
  • Canned tomatoes can be substituted for fresh tomatoes. A 28 ounce can provides about 1 1/2
    cups. If canned tomatoes are used, drain the juice. If desired, use a can of seasoned diced
    tomatoes to add an extra spiciness to the salsa.
  • Mix all ingredients together and set aside until ready to serve. Makes approximately 2 1/2
    cups of salsa.
  • Preheat oven at 400° F.
  • Clean salmon filets lightly by rinsing with cold water. Pat dry with paper towels.
  • Line a baking sheet or broiler pan with foil and spray foil with non-stick cooking spray.
    Arrange filets skin side down and evenly spaced on bakeware.
  • Add salt and pepper seasoning to filets.
  • Bake filets until meat is opaque throughout or begins to flake easily, which will normally
    require 6 to 9 minutes in oven.
  • Remove from oven and serve. Garnish with lemon wedges and tomato salsa.
  • NOTE: A garden variety canned salsa can substituted for fresh salsa if desired. This will
    reduce the preparation time by 15 minutes.
