1. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and toast the pumpkin seeds, stirring and tossing frequently, until they are aromatic and start to pop around in the pan, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl. When the pumpkin seeds are cool, chop coarsely and set aside.
2. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onion, stirring, until translucent, about 3 minutes. Add the corn, 1/2 cup of the chicken broth, and 1/4 teaspoon of the salt. Cook over medium heat until the corn is tender, about 6 minutes.
3. Transfer the corn mixture to a blender. Add the serrano and remaining 1/4 cup of broth and blend until smooth, about 1 minute. Pour the sauce through a strainer into a clean saucepan. Press to release all the liquid. Discard debris. Stir the cream into the sauce and heat through. Adjust salt. Reserve over low heat in the pan.
4. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon and cook about 2 to 3 minutes per side or until it is browned on the outside, barely opaque inside and still moist, and just barely flakes when tested with a fork. Put 1 piece of salmon on each of 4 serving plates. Spoon some of the warm corn sauce across each piece of salmon. Sprinkle lightly with cilantro the toasted pumpkin seeds. Serve hot.
