For the Salmon:

- poach for 10-15 minutes until just done.
- Chill.

For the salad:
- shuck the corn, rub with olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
- grill over a hot grill, turning frequently to char lightly on all sides.
- let cool and cut the corn off the cob.
- mix the corn with the tomatoes (cut in half), argula and onions

For the dressing:
- finely chop the shallots.
- whisk together the final 3 ingredients. (please mince shallots finely).

Cook and ex-restaurant manager and owner. Have worked in every kind of kitchen, in every position...tho' washing dishes wasn't my favorite! Have cooked and served everything from BBQ and Tex-Mex to an Italian - Mediterranean fusion with a steak house and brew pub thrown in for fun!!
Now a stay-at-home mom and photographer. I don't have a favorite cookbook anymore...Thanks to Recipezaar, they are all on the shelf, collecting dust!!
I love cooking for my family and friends, I love anything that has to do with my son (ok, maybe not the potty training).
I love baseball and football (mostly baseball) especially watching it with my family while eating great food...
We love to camp (especially the cooking!) and we love the beach.
