5. With a knife, cut the charred corn kernels from the cobs. add the corn kernels to the skillet with the onion mixture, stir and continue to cook for about 2-3 minutes more, or until the corn is cooked through. Add the cilantro and lime juice and stir to combine. Taste and adjust the seasonings with salt and pepper/
6. Serve the grilled halibut with some the grilled corn saucy salsa over the top.
