How To Make roasted salmon with red pepper and corn relish

  • Step 1
    Toast coriander seeds in small skillet over medium heat until aromatic, stirring frequently, about 2 minutes. Cool slightly. Crush in mortar with pestle.
  • Step 2
    For relish: Char bell peppers over gas flame or under broiler until blackened on all sides. Enclose in paper bag 10 minutes. Peel and seed peppers; cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • Step 3
    Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add corn and green onions and saute until corn begins to brown in spots, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and thyme; saute 2 minutes. Add wine and stir until liquid evaporates, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in bell peppers, lemon juice, honey, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons crushed coriander seeds. (Relish can be made 8 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Stir over medium heat until heated through before serving.)
  • Step 4
    Stir parsley into relish. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Step 5
    For salmon: Preheat oven to 400°F. Line large baking sheet with foil. Mix first 5 ingredients and remaining crushed coriander seeds in medium bowl. Brush salmon all over with mixture. Transfer to prepared baking sheet. Roast salmon until opaque in center, about 10 minutes.
  • Step 6
    Transfer to platter. Spoon relish over salmon and serve.
