Petite, uniquely-shaped Peruvian peppers lend a sweet and tangy pop of flavor to crisp green beans, served alongside smoky, spice-crusted salmon. For more Mexican-inspired flavor, we’re also pairing it with our take on elote, or corn smothered in layers of creamy sauce and crumbly Cotija cheese.

Ingredients

Fill a pot large enough to fit a corn cob with salted water; heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Remove and discard the husks and silks of the **corn**. Quarter the **lime**. In a bowl, combine the **crema or sour cream** and **the juice of 2 lime wedges**; season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare the ingredients:

Pat the **fish** dry with paper towels. Transfer to a cutting board, skin side down. Cut into 2 equal-sized pieces; season on both sides with salt, pepper, and **half the spice blend**. In a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium until hot. Add the seasoned fish, skinless side down. Loosely cover the pan with aluminum foil and cook 4 to 5 minutes on the first side, or until lightly browned. Flip and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until browned and cooked through. Leaving any browned bits (or fond) in the pan, transfer to a plate. Cover with the aluminum foil to keep warm.

Cook the fish:

Heat the pan of reserved fond on medium-high until hot (if the pan seems dry, add a drizzle of olive oil). Add the **green beans** and **2 tablespoons of water**; season with salt and pepper. Cover the pan with aluminum foil and cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until slightly softened. Turn off the heat and stir in the **peppers**.

Cook the green beans:

While the green beans cook, add the **corn** to the pot of boiling water. Cook 2 to 3 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly and transfer to a plate. Pat dry with paper towels.

Cook the corn:

Evenly spread **half the seaoned crema or sour cream** onto the **cooked corn cobs**. Top with the **cheese** and **as much of the remaining spice blend as you’d like**. Serve the **cooked fish** with the **cooked green beans**, **dressed corn**, and **remaining lime wedges** on the side. Top the fish with the **remaining seasoned crema or sour cream**. Enjoy!
