For the corn. Remove the husks and silk, then steam the corn for 10 minutes over simmering water. I have a saucepan with a set of baskets which fit on top, but any kind of steamer is fine. If you don’t have a steamer, boil the corn for 10 minutes instead. While the corn is steaming, lightly oil a griddle pan and heat on a medium to high heat. When the steaming is done, transfer the corn and grill for 5-10 minutes. The reason for the combination is that grilling fully can cause the corn to go dry, so by part cooking it by steaming, you retain all the moisture and then still get that lovely smokey flavor from the grill!
Melt the butter and mix with the lime juice and thoroughly coat the corn while it is still hot. Smother the mayonnaise on and crumble the feta cheese and freshly chopped coriander on top.
