Review: This recipe was pretty scrumptious. There really isn't anything I would change but I would say that I used the mild Picante sauce so if you like "hot" or "spicy" foods you could get the medium or hot Picante sauce. I also did not serve it with a side but you could serve it with an additional vegetable or even some rice would go well with it. The recipe did call for 1 cup of whole kernel corn but I just bought a small bag and used the whole thing because I didn't figure it would hurt having extra corn to serve on top of the salmon. It also called for thawing the corn but I just poured the bag straight from the freezer to the pan.
Recipe:
- 4 fresh salmon fillets (about 1 1/2 pounds or however many and however big you want them to serve to however many people you have)
- 1 jar (16 ounces) Pace Picante Sauce
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 cup frozen whole kernel corn, thawed and drained
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
Heat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Place the salmon in a 13 x 9 x 2-inch baking pan and spoon 1/2 cup of the Picante sauce over the fish. Bake for 15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Heat the oil in an 8-inch skillet over medium heat and add the corn. Cook for about 4 minutes or until the corn starts to brown (if you thaw it, it might take around 4 minutes but it took mine a couple minutes longer because I didn't thaw them first). Stir the remaining Picante sauce, cilantro and lemon juice in the skillet and heat through. Serve the salmon with the corn salsa.
Tip: To thaw the corn, microwave on HIGH for 1 minute.
