Summer Corn, Tomato, and Salmon Salad with Za'atar Dressing

This vibrant salmon and corn salad is a celebration of seasonal summer produce. By poaching the salmon in a fragrant broth of lemon, garlic, and fresh herbs, the fish stays incredibly succulent and light. The sweetness of the corn on the cob and juicy heirloom tomatoes provides a refreshing base, while the za’atar dressing adds a complex, earthy citrus note that ties the dish together beautifully.

As a heart-healthy option, this salad is packed with omega-3 fatty acids and fresh vegetables, making it a nutritious choice for a light supper or an impressive weekend lunch. The combination of peppery baby rocket and the aromatic Middle Eastern spice blend offers a sophisticated twist on a classic flaked fish salad. Serve it warm or at room temperature for the best flavour.

Ingredients for Summer Corn, Tomato, and Salmon Salad with Za'atar Dressing

  • 3 sprigs thyme

  • 3 bay leaves, preferably fresh

  • 4 (5–170g ) skinless salmon fillets

How to make Summer Corn, Tomato, and Salmon Salad with Za'atar Dressing

Generously salt a large pot of water (it should taste like the ocean). Thinly slice half of 1 lemon and add to water along with garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then let boil at least 3 minutes and up to 10 to infuse water.

Meanwhile, whisk oil, 3 tablespoons lemon juice, 4 teaspoons za’atar, and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl.

Add corn to boiling water and cook until bright yellow and tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Reduce heat to low, gently add salmon, and poach just until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a cutting board with a slotted spoon or spatula and flake into chunks.

Meanwhile, slice corn off cob into a large bowl. Add tomatoes and onion, then toss with 120ml dressing.

Add flaked salmon to corn mixture and toss very gently just to coat with dressing. Transfer to a serving platter or divide among plates. Top with rocket, then drizzle with remaining dressing. Serve with additional za’atar alongside.
