Salmon Salad with Summer Corn, Tomato and Basil Dressing 

salmon

garlic powder

onion powder

smoked paprika

lemon zest

sugar (optional)

basil leaves

olive oil

white wine vinegar

garlic

shallots

water

black pepper

corn

tomatoes,

arugula (4-5 cups packed)

basil

Dry-rub salmon

Mix salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, lemon zest, and sugar in a small bowl. Spray or brush salmon with olive oil. Sprinkle spice mix evenly over the fillets. 

Make basil vinaigrette

  In a blender or food processor, blend basil, olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic, shallots, water, salt, and black pepper until mostly smooth.

Grill

Heat grill to medium-high. (450F)  Brush corn with olive oil and sprinkle with salt. Sear for 10 minutes, turning every few minutes. Place the seasoned salmon on the greased, hot grill. Check after 2-3 minutes for grill marks, then turn. Continue grilling for a few more minutes, to medium (or your preferred doneness), and turn the heat off.

Assemble the salad

Cut the kernels off the grilled corn and cut the salmon into bite-sized pieces. Arrange arugula on a platter or shallow serving bowl (or on individual salad plates), drizzle with a little vinaigrette (or toss in a bowl and then place on the platter), then layer the tomatoes, onions, and salmon on top of the arugula. Spoon more salad dressing over the top and sprinkle with torn basil leaves. 

Serve

with lemon wedges, crusty bread, focaccia bread, sourdough crackers, rustic seed crackers, or with side of quinoa or roasted potatoes.

Besides the beautiful color, the nutritional value is oustanding! What a wonderful salad to serve for a summer day!
