You would get stomped with the strength, speed, stamina, energy projection, intelligence, and durability of Surfer (all are significantly below Superman).
Superman might have the edge in physical strength, because the Silver Surfer hasn't really shown strength on Superman's level, then again when you have the Power Cosmic at your finger-tips you can rearrange reality without ever having to touch it.
But there are a plethora of ways for the Silver Surfer to defeat Superman. Turning him into salt, creating Kryptonite, blasting him with red stellar radiation, tearing the solar radiation out of his cells similarly to how he tore the Hulk's gamma-rays in The Increadible Hulk #250, etc.
And it's not like like Superman can do much to someone who's barely fazed by Thor striking him in the face full-force with Mjolnir.
You may well make a case for that Superman would win against e.g. the Hulk, because Marvel superheroes aren't as well-rounded: Superman being significantly faster, able to fly, able to use Heat Vision, etc.
But when it comes to cosmic characters like the Silver Surfer the tables turn.

You don't have to construct the weakest version able to beat Superman, nor are you limited by a particular tier (e.g. Heralds), so technically you could pull from the Beyonders, Celestials, and Abstracts.
Thor, Hulk and Hyperion all have feats that rival some of Superman's best. Which is one of the three main attributes Superman has going for him, the others being durability and speed.

I'll have to concede this point because I misremembered. I thought he hit him with Mjolnir when he dented his head in but it was a headbutt.- Mighty Thor (2011) #3

I've never seen Silver Surfer turn Thor or Hulk or Thanos into salt.
But I could definitely see the Surfer turn Hulk into salt, just like Dormammu did. Tehnically he turned him into crystal, but the point remains.

Dormammu is much more powerful than Surfer.It happened in his realm, too.
