Preparation Steps

Mix together paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a small bowl. Coat the salmon fillets with this spice rub.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Bake for approximately 30 minutes.
In a blender, combine basil, mayonnaise, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
Chop the tomatoes and combine with corn, olive oil, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Toss gently.
Once the salmon is cooked, let it rest for a few minutes. Serve with the tomato salad and drizzle the basil sauce over the top.
