• 2 ears fresh corn on the cob, kernals removed
• 1 handful fresh purple basil
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• sea salt, to taste
• 8 ounces smoked trout

1. Toast rye bread. Mince garlic very finely, almost to a paste and mix with butter. Set aside for the moment.
2. Heat olive oil in saute pan to hot, but not smoking. Add in shallots and peppers and a pinch of sea salt. Saute 2-3 mins over medium heat, until shallots start to get translucent. Add green beans and saute another 5-8 minutes, until everything is tender, but still has a crunch. Add corn kernals and saute 2-3 minutes. Take pan off of heat, tear basil into large pieces and stir to combine. Heat will wilt basil, but not over cook.

Break smoked trout into large pieces and divide between bowls, placing it on top of corn mixture. Spread garlic butter on toasted rye bread while it is still warn and serve along side the salad. Garnish with piece of the purple basil for dramatic flair.
