Steps:

For the Salmon:.
Divide salmon into 4 pieces.
season the salmon with the kosher salt and set aside.

Turn to low and let simmer, covered for 20 minutes.
Strain off the solids, put the liquid in a 9" skillet, bring to boil and place salmon fillets into the liquid (add more water to cover if needed).
poach for 10-15 minutes until just done.
Chill.
For the salad:.
shuck the corn, rub with olive oil and season with salt & pepper.
grill over a hot grill, turning frequently to char lightly on all sides.
let cool and cut the corn off the cob.
mix the corn with the tomatoes (cut in half), argula and onions
For the dressing:.
finely chop the shallots.
whisk together the final 3 ingredients. (please mince shallots finely).
toss with the salad.
Divide between 4 plates, place poached salmon on top and finish with Basil Aioli (different recipe).
