My favorite part about this recipe was the corn/blueberry salad. Wow! It didn't seem like the flavors would work all that well together, but it ended up being outstanding...addictive even! I seriously couldn't stop eating it. The basil and maple syrup...who knew? The salmon was very good, too. Thank you! Made for Culinary Quest - PNW - International Agents of Quest.

What a wonderful taste sensation! My taste buds were dancing. I used frozen corn and salmon. I sprayed the salmon with my olive oil mister before adding the spices and then pan fried it. I can't wait to try this with fresh ingredients. Thanks a bunch for sharing. This will definitely be added to my best of 2014 cookbook.
