Ingredients:

For the salmon:
1 tsp smoked paprika
1 1/2 tsp brown sugar
1/2 tsp chipotle chili powder
1/2 tsp ground cumin
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1 lime, juice of
4 (6 oz) Alaskan wild pink or chum salmon fillets
olive oil spray

For the black beans and corn:
15.5 oz can black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cups frozen corn kernels (fresh is fine)
1/4 cup red onion, minced
3 tbsp finely minced cilantro
1 tsp olive oil
2 tbsp fresh squeezed lime juice

Directions:

Combine all the spices in a small bowl. Squeeze lime juice over salmon then rub in the spices to completely coat; set aside to rest about 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large saute pan, heat oil over medium heat. Add onions and sauté 2 minutes; add beans, corn and salt and cook until heated through, about 6 - 8 minutes. Remove from heat and toss in cilantro and lime juice. Makes 3 1/2 cups.


Heat a clean outdoor grill (make sure the grates are clean and lightly oiled) or if cooking indoors a lightly oiled grill pan over high heat. When hot, grill the salmon for about 5 minutes on each side or until the fish is opaque throughout. Serve with black beans, corn and lime wedges.
