Creamed Corn with Pepper Salmon
This recipe features salmon fillets marinated in soy, garlic, lemon, and sugar, coated in black pepper, and pan-seared to a flaky finish. It is served with a creamed corn and red bell pepper mixture cooked in olive oil and finished with heavy cream, providing a smooth, slightly sweet contrast to the savory salmon.
