Perfect Pescatarian Side Dish – Elote Grilled Mexican Street Corn Salad

in Recipes, Seafood Recipes on 07/20/18

I live in coastal Southern California and the weather here is pretty perfect most of the year, but it’s especially gorgeous during the summer. This means that I mix things up a bit in the kitchen and focus on making dishes that are high quality, quick and a little exotic.

Think staycation worthy meals.

One of my favorite things to make is pescatarian-friendly Mexican style street corn or elote corn. Along side grilled fish or a toasted whole-wheat tortilla it is so good.

This Elote grilled Mexican street corn salad recipe takes about 10 minutes to assemble and uses frozen prepared roasted corn from Trader Joes and ingredients that I always have available from my weekly meal prep. Simple, delicious and cost effective. You gotta make this!

Some versions of this dish use mayo, mine does not. I’m not a fan of mayo so I eliminated this ingredient and instead drizzled Mexican crema on top for garnish. I also add grilled zucchini to my elote because it tastes good, gives the dish more texture and adds a second layer of nutrition (protein, vitamin C, potassium, etc.)

This is on of those no-recipe recipes. Use my instructions as a guide but get creative with making your version of this dish.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups roasted corn
  • ½ red onion, chopped
  • ½ cup cilantro, chopped
  • 1 whole tomato, diced
  • 2 large grilled zucchini, diced
  • ¼ cup cotija cheese
  • ½ fresh lime
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil
  • Mexican crema for garnish
  • Sea salt and black pepper to taste

Directions

  • Mix the roasted corn, red onion, cilantro, tomato, zucchini, avocado oil, lime and cotija together. Taste for seasoning – the cotija can be a little salty so now is your time to decided on the amount of salt to add.   Add salt and pepper as desired. Add to serving bowl and drizzle Mexican cream on top for garnish.

Since most of us are currently stuck indoors these days, one of the best ways to engage with other cultures is through music and food. This simple Southeast Asian inspired shellfish dish is flavorful, inexpensive and benefits from a well stocked pantry.

Wild halibut tortilla soup. . . . After a weekend Wild halibut tortilla soup.

After a weekend of indulgence, I was in the mood for something simple today. Not to mention that I received such sweet birthday phone calls from my two chicken tortilla soup loving nieces, Briana and Courtney! With these two in mind and a bunch of halibut cheeks and bones on hand I went to work. 
.
.
.
Halibut bone broth is the base of this soup. The recipe is in the forthcoming book.

It's such a beautiful day!! I couldn't resist spending my morning at the beach. It's usually raining on my birthday, so sunshine is a real treat and is a testament to the bright and beautiful year that I've had personally. 
.
.
.
I've been instructed by friends and colleagues to eat lots of cake (hubby will see you that), and my mom & dad gifted me a beautiful bunch of chocolate dipped fruit, to help balance out the cake 😋!

Wild halibut cheeks are on deck for supper! I bought them during my last trip to Morrow Bay from @giovannis_fish_market and have them well preserved in the freezer.

I appreciate all of your support and really enjoy our fun banter!

I took a break from clam dishes to triple test my recipe for Baja inspired seafood enchiladas for the book - crab and shrimp are featured. Most of you know that I'm crazy about Mexican food and ingredients, grew up enjoying both.
.
.
.
As I researched the dish, I learned that enchiladas have roots in royal Aztec cuisine. 
.
.
.
I cooked up a batch of black beans and made cilantro rice to boot!
.

This recipe wil be in the forthcoming book... something to look forward to 😋.

I planned on filming a full video recipe on geoducks but it fell off my list of priorities since I owe my editor book updates. However, I was able to get this bit in. My husband had a hard time watching this, which I found hilarious!!

To remove the shell I dropped the whole clam in boiling water for 10 seconds, then blanched it in ice water.

This is a geoduck, (pronounced "gooey-duck"), which is a clam with an oversized siphon (sometimes called the neck). The siphon and body are so large that the shell can't close tightly. It bears an unfortunate resemblance to a certain part of the male anatomy that gives some of us the giggles!
.
.
.
Geoduck can be expensive at restaurants, but it's simple enough to prepare at home. I plan to serve this as sushi for New Years Day!
.

Similar to the Pacific razor clams, the geoduck is common in the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia. I found mine at a local market.

I couldn't wait to crack open my suitcase which I stuffed with a bunch of frozen seafood from local markets, mostly wild salmon and Pacific razor clams. Thanks to @alaskaair for overlooking a slight bag overage 😉.

I've been obsessed with clams lately (including geoducks) so brace yourself and prepare to be inspired over the next couple of weeks.
.
.
.
I made a batch of Pacific razor clams for Christmas Eve supper at the Lakehouse using a basic flour and egg wash. This approach gave the clams a southern "chicken fried" texture. They turned out great and got hubby's attention. He wanted more...so, I bought more!
.
.
Today I defrosted a 1lb package made up of 7 whole cleaned clams and used Panko breadcrumb + egg wash to coat them before a quick pan fry.
