Directions
- Warm a grill pan, outdoor grill, or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Pat the salmon dry with paper towels, then place it on a plate and season the top with salt and pepper.
- When the pan is hot, brush it with a light coating of oil and lay the salmon in skin-side down; cook, turning once, until the flesh is opaque and the skin is crisp, about 3–4 minutes per side.
- Rinse the corn in a colander under hot water to defrost, then transfer it to a small bowl.
- Peel, pit, and dice the avocado; add it to the corn along with the salsa and mix gently to combine.
- Wash and dry the arugula (or skip this if pre-washed).
- To serve, divide the salmon, corn-avocado salsa, and arugula among plates, then drizzle the arugula with French vinaigrette.
Two tips
- Prep the avocado and salsa mix while the pan heats for quicker assembly.
- Serve extra arugula on the side for added greens and crunch.
