Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Bring water to boil in large covered pot.

  2. Step 2

    Chop whole onion.

  3. Step 3

    Heat nonstick pan over high heat until it very hot. Reduce heat to medium-high and add oil and onion. Saute until onion begins to soften.

  4. Step 4

    Shuck corn and scrape kernels from cobs; grate the ginger.

  5. Step 5

    Add the corn kernels, cumin and ginger to the onion and continue to cook until the corn is done, two or three minutes.

  6. Step 6

    Cook the orzo.

  7. Step 7

    When onion-corn mixture is cooked, spoon into a serving bowl. Wipe out the pan and spray it lightly with pan spray. Saute the salmon in the pan, following the Canadian rule: measure fish at the thickest part and cook 8 to 10 minutes to the inch.

  8. Step 8

    Wash, dry, trim and quarter the tomatoes and halve them. Squeeze out some of the seeds and juice, and cut the tomatoes into small dice.

  9. Step 9

    Mince the garlic; wash, dry and chop the oregano and stir into the tomatoes. Add to corn mixture.

  10. Step 10

    When orzo is cooked, drain and stir in. When salmon is cooked, cut into bite-size pieces and carefully stir in.

Cut the recipe in half (dinner for 2) but used the full TBS of ginger to give it a little pop. Also increased salt and pepper. Used grape tomatoes and served the salmon filets whole, rather than in pieces...served the filets on a bed of the orzo/veggy mix. Was very happy with the result, so was my wife.

Most definitely not 2 servings, at least 4 good size ones. Followed the recipe and it was delicious. In season vegetables are a must. I would only include seasoning the salmon with salt and pepper before sautéing. Add season to taste afterwards.

Delicious, but two servings? Noway: More like four Bununesque servings. I would advise halving all the iongredients.
