Instructions
Heat a grill to medium-high heat (400 to 500). Run a metal skewer through each onion slice to hold it together.
Brush onion slices and corn generously with oil.
Lay onion and corn on cooking grate (close lid if using gas) and grill, turning as needed, until lightly seared with grill marks--the onion on both sides, the corn all over--10 to 12 minutes total. When cool enough to handle, chop onion and cut corn kernels from cobs.
Mix onion, corn, tomatoes, slivered basil, lemon juice, 1 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. pepper in a bowl.
Brush salmon pieces on both sides with oil.
Sprinkle flesh sides with salt and pepper.
Lay flesh side down on cooking grate (close lid if using gas) and grill, carefully turning once with a wide spatula, until just opaque but still moist-looking in center of thickest part (cut to test), 9 to 10 minutes total.
Mound relish on plates. Lift salmon off skin with spatula and set alongside relish.
Garnish with lemon wedges and basil sprigs.
Recommended wine: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Sauvignon Blanc are great choices for Salmon. 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. The La Crema Russian River Chardonnay with a 4.1 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 28 dollars per bottle.

La Crema Russian River Chardonnay
On the nose are citrus tones, with green apple, pineapple and floral aromas accentuated by caramel and hazelnut traces. The bright fruit and crisp acidity typical of the Russian River appellation are apparent in the mouth, with lemon-lime components and concentrated pear notes, offset by a lingering apple and spice finish.
