Steps

1. 1

   Season a large pot of water generously with salt until it reaches a taste similar to the ocean. Slice half of a lemon thinly and place it into the water along with garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. Once all ingredients are added, bring the mixture to a boil. Allow it to boil for at least 3 minutes and up to 10 minutes to infuse the flavors into the water.

2. 2

   In a small bowl, combine oil, 3 tablespoons of lemon juice, 4 teaspoons of za'atar, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Whisk the ingredients together until well blended.

3. 3

   Place the corn into a pot of boiling water and cook until it turns a vibrant yellow color and reaches a tender texture, which should take around 6 minutes. Once cooked, remove the corn from the water and transfer it onto a plate.
