"When corn and tomatoes are ripe, let them shine in simple preparations like this refreshing, time-saving dinner, in which the salmon is poached in the same thyme- and garlic-infused water that the corn is boiled in."

YIELD: 4 servings  
 ACTIVE TIME: 35 minutes  
 TOTAL TIME: 35 minutes

INGREDIENTS  
 Kosher salt  
 2 lemons  
 3 garlic cloves, crushed  
 3 sprigs thyme  
 3 bay leaves, preferably fresh  
 1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil  
 4 teaspoons za'atar, plus more for serving  
 5 ears corn on the cob, husked  
 4 (5–6-ounce) skinless salmon fillets  
 2 medium heirloom tomatoes, cut into wedges (about 1 1/2 pounds)  
 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced  
 Baby arugula or other baby greens (for serving)

PREPARATION

1. Generously salt a large pot of water (it should taste like the ocean). Thinly slice half of 1 lemon and add to  
    water along with garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. Bring to a boil, then let boil at least 3 minutes and up to 10  
    to infuse water.
2. Meanwhile, whisk oil, 3 Tbsp. lemon juice, 4 tsp. za’atar, and 1 tsp. salt in a small bowl.
3. Add corn to boiling water and cook until bright yellow and tender, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
4. Reduce heat to low, gently add salmon, and poach just until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer to  
    a cutting board with a slotted spoon or spatula and flake into chunks.
5. Meanwhile, slice corn off cob into a large bowl. Add tomatoes and onion, then toss with 1/2 cup dressing.
6. Add flaked salmon to corn mixture and toss very gently just to coat with dressing.
7. Transfer to a serving platter or divide among plates. Top with arugula, then drizzle with remaining dressing. Serve with  
    additional za’atar alongside.
