Recipe developed by Jeanne Kelley

Makes: 4 servings
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes

Ingredients
Nonstick cooking spray
4 tablespoons fresh lime juice
4 garlic cloves, smashed
2 teaspoons chili powder
2 teaspoons ground cumin
3 teaspoons olive oil
4 5-ounce skinless salmon fillets
1 1/2 cups frozen corn kernels, thawed
1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
1 poblano pepper, thinly sliced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup light sour cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

Directions
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Mist 2 large baking sheets with cooking spray. In a small baking dish, mix together 2 tablespoons lime juice with garlic, chili powder, cumin, and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Add salmon and turn to coat; let sit.
2. In a medium bowl, toss corn, bell pepper, poblano pepper, and onion with remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil. Transfer corn mixture to one of the baking sheets; spread into a single layer.
3. Remove salmon from marinade and arrange on second baking sheet. Drizzle corn mixture with remaining salmon marinade. Season salmon and corn with salt and black pepper to taste and roast 8 to 10 minutes, until fish is just cooked through and vegetables are tender.

This recipe is delicious. I dice up the peppers and onions because I like them better that way. I also made this recipe and substituted chicken for salmon, fresh green beans instead of corn, and tomatoes for the red peppers. It came out delicious and was like a whole different meal.

I made this last night for my family and they loved it! My parents are huge fish people and the salmon came out nicely. I though the cilantro sauce was a bit too "lime-y" for me, so next time I will use only 1 tablespoon or so...just too taste. I will definitely be making this again!
