Recipe for Chimayo Grill's Southwestern Barbeque Salmon. Corn, poblano chiles, and pumpkin seeds flavor this Southwestern version of salmon.

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon filets (6 ounces each)
  • 4 ears of corn (unhusked)
  • 1/2 cup barbeque sauce
  • 2 roasted poblano chiles, stemmed, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup corn salsa
  • 1/8 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced or pressed
  • 2 bunches cilantro, washed and steamed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1/8 cup raw pumpkin seeds, roasted in oven
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Cut tip of corn cobs off. Slit ear lengthwise, spread husk to expose ear and cut cob off near stem. Remove cob and all corn silk, being carful to keep husk in tact. Reserve corn for another use (like perhaps making corn salsa?). Baste inside of husk with BBQ sauce and place salmon filets inside each husk, wrap around to encase salmon.
  2. Prepare medium-hot mesquite charcoal grill. Meanwhile, for spicy green chile pesto, place chiles, Parmesan, garlic, cilantro, olive oil, pumpkin seeds and salt in blender and purée until just blended.
  3. Place salmon on hot grill and cook approximately 5 minutes on each side. Place salmon on plate, spoon pesto on top and sprinkle with corn salsa. Serve with seasonal vegetables, mashed potatoes and garnish with lime.
