Seared Salmon with Sweet Corn and Bacon Saute

I love salmon, it's one of my favorite things to eat.  It's full of Omega 3s (which help lower cholesterol) plus has vitamins A, B and D!  Most importantly, it tastes divine!  This is a great recipe for salmon which is served over a corn and bacon saute that is quick and easy to make and full of flavor!  I hope you enjoy!

Seared Salmon with Sweet Corn and Bacon Saute (adapted from Cooking Light, May 2014)

3 slices center cut bacon, diced
1 medium shallot, finely minced
4 green onions, thinly sliced, white and green parts separated
3 T. chicken broth
1 1/2 T. sherry vinegar (can also use apple cider vinegar)
1 (16 oz.) package frozen corn (I used Trader Joe's Fire Roasted Corn)
1 t. salt, divided
1 t. pepper, divided
1 T. extra virgin olive oil, divided
6 (4 oz.) salmon fillets
1/2 t. dried thyme

Cook bacon in a medium skillet over medium heat until crisp, stirring occasionally.  Add the shallot and white parts of the green onion and saute for 2 minutes.  Add the chicken broth, vinegar, corn, 1/2 salt and 1/2 t. pepper.  Saute 4 minutes or until thoroughly heated through.  Stir in the green parts of the onions. 

Heat a large skillet over medium high heat and add 1 1/2 t. of the oil.  Sprinkle the salmon fillets with the remaining salt, pepper and thyme.  Add 3 fillets to the pan and cook for 3 minutes.  Turn and continue cooking an additional 2-3 minutes until desired doneness.  Remove to a platter and repeat with the remaining fillets (using the remaining olive oil for the last 3 fillets.)  Serve the salmon over the corn mixture.
