Lime salt
1/2 cup cotija cheese, or queso fresco, crumbled

Pull the outer husks down the ear to the base, and strip away the silk. Fold husks back the way they were, and place in a large bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of salt for 10 minutes.

Cut corn off the cob. Stand ear of corn up in a bowl, and carefully use a short knife to cut down and shed the kernels off from top to bottom.

Combine mayonnaise, sour cream, Sriracha, kosher salt, and lime salt in a small bowl.

Add corn to Sriracha-mayonnaise mixture, and stir until evenly spread.
