Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (around 400°F / 200°C).
- If using a gas grill, set it to medium-high. If using a charcoal grill, let the coals burn until covered with white ash.
- Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels.
- Rub both sides of the salmon with 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Season the salmon with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
- Sprinkle 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried basil evenly over the salmon.
- Place the salmon on the preheated grill.
- Grill for 4-6 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness of the fillet, until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for a few minutes while you prepare the vegetable mixture.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sweet corn (if using fresh corn, it can be grilled for a few minutes beforehand for extra flavor), halved cherry tomatoes, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of dried basil.
- Drizzle with the remaining 1/2 tablespoon of olive oil and the vinegar. Toss to combine.
- Season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Toss again to ensure everything is well coated.
- Place the grilled salmon on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Spoon the sweet corn, cherry tomatoes, and basil mixture over the top of the salmon.
- Serve immediately, while the salmon is still warm and the vegetables are fresh and vibrant.
- Optionally, garnish with some fresh basil leaves for an extra touch of color and flavor.
Tips:
- Choose fresh, high-quality salmon for the best flavor and texture.
- Preheat your grill or grill pan to ensure even cooking and beautiful grill marks on the salmon.
- If using wooden skewers for grilling the cherry tomatoes, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes to prevent burning.
- Feel free to use fresh basil instead of dried for a more intense and aromatic flavor.
- Consider adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on the salmon before serving for a zesty finish.
