Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Pour the olive oil into a large skillet and place over medium-high heat. When hot, add the shallots and fennel. Season with cumin, mustard seeds and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until softened, about 4 minutes. Add the corn and saute until tender, about 4 minutes more. Add 1¼ cups water and bring to a boil. Simmer for 8 minutes. Remove from the heat.

  2. Step 2

    Transfer 1½ cups of the corn mixture and liquid to a blender and puree. Strain the puree pressing the solids; discard the solids. Pour the corn puree back into the skillet and simmer to a ragu consistency, about 8 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish with fennel fronds and serve with the gently smoked salmon.
