Instructions
Red Chile Rub: Preheat grill to medium high.
Combine ancho, cumin, brown sugar and cinnamon in a medium bowl.
Brush salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Rub 1 tablespoon of the spice rub on 1 side of the salmon and grill, rub-side down until lightly golden brown, about 2 to 3 minutes. Turn over and continue grilling for 3 to 4 minutes for medium doneness.
Toasted Corn Vinaigrette:In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the corn about 5 minutes.
Place the ears on the grill until slightly charred on all sides, about 2 minutes.
Remove from the grill and with a sharp knife, scrape the kernels into a small bowl.
Whisk together the lime juice, jalapeno and honey until combine. Slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified. Season with salt and pepper and fold in the corn, onions and cilantro.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Salmon can be paired with Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc. To decide on white or red, you should consider your seasoning and sauces. Chardonnay is a great friend to buttery, creamy dishes, while sauvignon blanc can complement herb or citrus-centric dishes. A light-bodied, low-tannin red such as the pinot noir goes great with broiled or grilled salmon. One wine you could try is GEN5 Chardonnay. It has 4.3 out of 5 stars and a bottle costs about 9 dollars.
