Instructions
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Halve the potatoes, cut each shucked corn cob into 3 pieces, pat the salmon dry, and line a rimmed sheet pan with parchment or foil.
- Toss the potatoes with 2 teaspoons olive oil, half the cumin and paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and the black pepper. Arrange cut-side down and roast for 15 minutes.
- Turn the potatoes and add the corn to the pan. Brush the corn with some of the remaining oil, season lightly with salt, and roast for 8 minutes.
- Rub the salmon with the last of the oil, cumin, paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Add it skin-side down to the pan and roast everything for 10–12 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily and reaches 145°F at its thickest point and the potatoes are tender.
- While the salmon roasts, blend or finely chop and stir together the cilantro, seeded jalapeño, garlic, mayonnaise, lime zest, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Thin with 1–2 teaspoons water and season to taste with salt.
- Rest the salmon for 3 minutes. Plate it with the roasted corn and potatoes, spoon over the cilantro-jalapeño sauce, and serve with the remaining lime cut into wedges.
