"A recipe for the adventuresome from March 2009 issue of BH&G. The recipe creator's name is Priscilla Yee from Concord, CA and she won $2500 for this recipe!! (The idea of blueberries mixed in a corn salad intrigued me, and love all the ingredients so I made this. DS and I liked it a lot, not DH-think the cumin might have been too much for him so if you have a dislike for cumin you should reduce it.) Priscilla was inspired to create this recipe b/c of "her father's post-heart attack switch to a healthier diet. She created this dish with some of her favorite healthful foods. Dad? He just turned 90." Love that story.:) Feel free to sub in green onion tops for the chives. After reading Chef#1227141 review I agree a bit of paprika on the salmon would be even better! I served with brown rice but a noodle thing would be good too. You could make the corn salad a day ahead, I did and it kept very well but I think it tastes better at room temperature."

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.

The corn salad is quite unique and interesting. I used frozen blueberries and rinsed then first to prevent too much corn discoloration. I used honey since we were low on maple syrup, and the flavors were delicious. I garnished it with the basil just as in "The Flying Chef's" photo. Thanks!

I am giving this 5 stars although my husband though the salad was only okay (what does he know). It is a terrific use of healthy ingredients and antioxidants! The salmon came out delicious and paired very nicely with the salad.

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.

Great meal and so fast too! Made as directed except I used dried basil (about 1 tsp) and frozen corn. Wonderful!
