Preparación

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 425 F.

2. 2

   Start making the mango-corn salsa: Cut the corn kernels away from the cobs into a bowl.

3. 3

   Toss the corn with the olive oil, ½ teaspoon sea salt, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and black pepper.

4. 4

   Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

5. 5

   Spread the corn in an even layer on the baking sheet and roast for about 15 minutes, until charred.

6. 6

   Transfer the corn to a large bowl to cool slightly.

7. 7

   Reduce the oven’s temperature to 275 F.

8. 8

   Add the mango, bell pepper, jalapeño, scallions, lime juice, and remaining ½ teaspoon sea salt to the corn, tossing to combine.

    In a small bowl, mix together the smoked paprika, chili powder, sea salt, brown sugar, cumin, garlic powder, and black pepper.

13. 13

    Sprinkle the spice mixture over the salmon and rub to coat all surfaces.

14. 14

    Bake the salmon for about 25 to 30 minutes, until opaque and with an internal temperature of 120 F (this will depend on thickness of the salmon, so use a thermometer if possible).
