Pan Seared Salmon with Succotash

I used to have a hard time as a child eating my veggies but once my grandmother introduced this tasty dish into my life that changed.

Succotash

This recipe combines succotash, which is a simple sauteed mixture of corn, okra, lima beans, and crushed tomatoes, along with grilled salmon fillets.

For the succotash, you can also add red and green peppers which are also traditional ingredients. The salmon is prepared in a cast iron pan and is seasoned simply with salt, pepper, and creole seasoning. This creole two-man team of flavor will leave you satisfied without the guilt!

Notes

Cooking the succotash for 15 minutes allows the okra the cook down therefore removing the slime. It also allows the lima beans to cook perfectly.

  1. seems like you really need some extra liquid to cook the limas? I would think that one can of drained tomatoes would not be sufficient liquid for them.

      The liquid that develops from the other ingredients seems to provide the right amount of liquid for my taste. If you prefer more, just skip draining your tomatoes. Should work out just fine.
