Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Rice

    In a medium saucepan, cook the Spanish saffron rice according to package instructions. Set aside once cooked.

  2. 2

    Season the Salmon

    In a small bowl, mix the dried chili powder, olive oil, salt, and pepper to create a rub. Rub this mixture over both sides of the salmon fillets.

  3. 3

    Grill the Salmon

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the salmon fillets for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and flaky.

  4. 4

    Make the Relish

    In a bowl, combine the black beans, roasted corn, diced red onion, chopped cilantro, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.

  5. 5

    Serve

    To serve, place a scoop of saffron rice on each plate, top with a grilled salmon fillet, and finish with a generous portion of the black beans and corn relish.
