ingredients
- 2 salmon fillets

- 2 ear corn
- rucola (arugula) or watercress

directions
- Toast sesame seeds.
- Boil corn cobs for 3 minutes.
- After they have finished cooking, plunge them into cold water to stop the cooking.
- Slice off the kernels.
- Combine the corn, peppers, and red onion in a bowl.
- In a separate bowl, combine the sesame oil, cilantro, lime juice, fish sauce, chili pepper, and black pepper.
- Pour this mixture over the corn mixture and toss.
- Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
- Grill the Salmon to taste.
- (I prefer Salmon quite rare, so just a few minutes per side).
- Arrange the rucola or watercress on two plates.
- Spoon the corn mixture over top.
- Place the grilled salmon on top.
- Garnish with a sprig of cilantro and some tiny cubed bits of red and orange pepper for color.
