Seared Salmon with Sweet Corn and Bacon Sauté

Directions

Seared Salmon with Sweet Corn and Bacon Sauté - Chew Nibble Nosh

I love recipes like this.  Why?  Well, for a fraction of the cost of going out to eat and ordering something similar, I was able to whip this dish together in no time flat in my own kitchen.  In fact, one plate of this in a restaurant would probably cost the same as all of the ingredients together for four portions at home.  It was delicious, and beautifully light and fresh on the plate.  Plus, it was done in a flash.  The entire meal took less than 30 minutes to get from fridge to table.  I loved every little morsel of it!

I started by crisping up a couple of slices of center cut bacon in a skillet on the stove top, and then added in a chopped shallot and the white parts of a few green onions.

I quickly deglazed the pan with a little bit of white wine, making sure to scrape up all of the browned bits on the bottom of the pan, and then added in some frozen corn, a dash of sherry vinegar, salt and pepper.

I let the corn and bacon cook together for a few minutes while I got my salmon going.

I melted a dab of coconut oil in another large skillet, and then added my salmon fillets.  After four minutes, I flipped the fillets over, and they were beautifully golden and crisped on the top, with a perfectly seared crust.

I let the salmon cook for another four minutes before removing them from the pan.

That’s it.  The entire recipe.  Done, in a flash!

I served the salmon on top of the bacon and corn sauté, and we all enjoyed a delicious, light, and fresh restaurant quality meal in the comfort of our own home.  While dining out is nice, there’s something to be said for eating a meal like this at home, while I have my yoga pants and fuzzy slippers on. (Don’t judge.)
