Instructions
- Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to medium-high, about 425–450°F, for 10 minutes; clean the grates and set out a blender or food processor.
- Blend 1/2 cup packed cilantro, 1 small chopped jalapeño, 1 garlic clove, 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons lime juice, 1 teaspoon honey, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt until mostly smooth; transfer the sauce to a serving bowl.
- Shuck 2 ears corn and rub them with 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, and 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt. Grill the 2 ears for 5 minutes, turning twice.
- Pat 12 ounces salmon dry and rub it with 2 teaspoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Turn the 2 corn ears, place the seasoned fillet skin-side down on the grill, and close the lid. Grill everything for 3–4 minutes, flip the fillet, and cook for 3–4 minutes more, turning the corn as needed, until the fish reaches 145°F and the corn is lightly charred; rest the fish for 3 minutes.
- Divide the grilled fillet and charred corn evenly between 2 plates, spoon the prepared green sauce over the top, and serve the extra sauce alongside.
