Corn Salsa over Grilled Salmon

I hope you all are enjoying these easy salmon recipes as much as I am. 
I knew this one would be a hit because hubs and I love corn salsa. 
We make it once a week over the summer, usually on Friday nights.  
That way we can enjoy the leftovers all weekend. 

And after making this recipe, I think we've found our new Friday night favorite. 
If you're serving 2, make the corn salsa recipe as directed.  
Enjoy half of it as an appetizer with corn chips and maybe a margarita {or two}.
Then, turn on the grill and enjoy this fresh and healthy salmon. 
It was enough served without sides, but I'm sure it would be good with jasmine rice as well. 

Enjoy!
