2 to 3tablespoons neutral cooking oil, such as grapeseed, avocado, or canola oil
For the salsa:
2 heaping cupsdiced peaches, unpeeled (about 3 medium peaches)
1 medium ripe avocado, diced
1/4cup finely diced red onion
1/4cupchopped cilantro
2tablespoons finely minced jalapeno, optional
1tablespoonfresh lemon juice
1/4teaspoon kosher salt
To serve:
Jalapeño slices, for garnish
Chopped cilantro, for garnish
Method
Season the salmon:
Whisk together paprika, garlic, onion, brown sugar, salt, pepper, and cayenne.
Sprinkle spice mixture evenly on all sides of the salmon. Refrigerate uncovered while making the salsa and preheating the grill, about 20 minutes.
Make the salsa:
In a medium bowl, mix together the peaches, avocado, onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lemon juice, and salt. Season to taste, adding more salt or jalapeño if you like. If your peaches are a bit tart, you can add a pinch of sugar.
Prep the grill:
Preheat a gas or charcoal grill to 500°F for at least 15 minutes, or until you can hold your hand above the grates for 2 to 3 seconds.
Grill the salmon:
Brush all sides of the salmon with oil—about a tablespoon total. Brush a bit of oil onto the grill grates as well, ensuring that any fish touching the grates through the grill pan will easily lift away.
Place the salmon skin side up on the grill pan and transfer the pan to the grill. Close the lid and cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes. Using a fish spatula or tongs, gently lift one corner of the fish. The grilled side should be opaque and show some sear marks. If not, check every minute or so until it is.
Gently, flip the fish to skin side down, close the lid, and grill for another 3 to 4 minutes. Open the lid and watch carefully until the fish is done, another 1 to 3 minutes. The salmon is perfectly cooked when the top and bottom are opaque and there is a nice translucent streak through the middle. (If you prefer your salmon more well-done, continue cooking to your preferred doneness.)
Serve:
Remove from the grill and serve immediately. Top with peach salsa and cilantro and chilies for garnish.

There’s a reason we share this recipe every year! From the Minimalist Baker:
2 Tbsp. olive oil, divided
3 cups fresh corn, cut off the cob (~3 ears)
1 shallot, chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup light sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
4 ounces (1/2 package) 1/3-fat cream cheese
1 cup grated cotija cheese + more for topping
1/4 tsp each sea salt and ground black pepper
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Heat a cast iron or oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp. olive oil, shallot and garlic. Stir constantly to prevent burning. Add corn, 1/4 tsp each sea salt and pepper and stir. Cook for 5 minutes until shallots appear softened and the corn is slightly darker in color. Then remove from heat. In a large bowl mix together sour cream, cream cheese, cotija and stir. Add corn mixture to the bowl and stir until well combined. Use additional tbsp. olive oil to lightly grease the cast iron so the dip doesn’t stick. Spoon dip back into the skillet and bake at 375 for 11-13 minutes or until hot and bubbly. Serve with veggies, tortilla chips, crackers or baguette bread.

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)
2 tablespoons light-brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup low-fat buttermilk
1/2 cup whole milk
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted, plus more for pan, and room-temperature butter for serving (optional)
1 1/2 cups blueberries
Maple syrup, for serving
In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; in another bowl, whisk together buttermilk, milk, eggs, and melted butter. Whisk milk mixture into flour mixture just until combined.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium. Grease hot skillet with a paper towel moistened with a small amount of melted butter. Using 1/4 cup batter for each pancake, spoon into skillet and smooth to make a round. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons blueberries onto surface of each pancake.
Cook until surface of pancakes has formed bubbles and some have burst, 1 to 2 minutes. Flip pancakes with a spatula and cook until browned on underside, 1 to 2 minutes more.
