Viewed: 56 - Published at: 5 years agoIngredients
- 3 ears corn, shucked
- 6 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon chipotle chile powder
- 1 green onion, sliced
- 1/4 cup coarsely chopped cilantro
- 2 tablespoons crumbled cotija* or mild feta cheese
- 4 flounder or sole fillets (6 oz. each)
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1 jalapeno chile, thinly sliced
Method
- Heat a large (not nonstick) frying pan over medium heat. Meanwhile, shave kernels from corn (you should have about 2 cups). Increase heat to medium-high. Add 2 tbsp. oil, then corn. Cook, without stirring, until corn begins to brown, about 1 minute. Continue to cook, stirring, until corn is cooked through, 30 seconds more. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, combine mayonnaise, lime juice, vinegar, 1/4 tsp. salt, and the chipotle chile powder. Add corn, green onion, cilantro, and cheese, and toss until combined.
- Heat 2 tbsp. oil in a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat. Season fish with remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and the pepper. Carefully lay 2 fillets in hot oil and cook until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn fish over and cook until opaque throughout, about 30 seconds more. Transfer to plates. Repeat with remaining 2 tbsp. oil and 2 fish fillets.
- Spoon corn salad over fish and top with sliced jalapeno.
- *Cotija cheese is a semidry, crumbly Mexican cheese; find it at well-stocked grocery stores and Mexican markets.
