In a skillet over medium hight heat add 1 tbsp of olive oil. Add the shucked corn. Cook for 2-3 minutes, give the corn a good mix and cook another 2 minutes. Remove from the skillet into a medium sized mixing bowl. Wipe the skillet clean.
Combine the corn with the jalapeño and cilantro.
Toss your salmon cubes with the brown sugar, smoked paprika, ground cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once heated, add the salmon pieces in a single layer. Cook for about 8 minutes, turning on each side so they are evenly cooked on all sides.
Warm your tortillas if desired.
Assemble your tacos by adding a few salmon pieces to the warmed tortilla followed by the corn mixture. Spoon on desired amount of sauce. Top with crumbled cotija and enjoy!
