Super Quick Pan Seared Early Summer Succotash Recipes

PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH SUMMER SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• For the sauce: In a medium bowl whisk together the creme fraiche, mustard, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt. Cover with plastic wrap and set aside.
• For the salmon: Sprinkle the salmon fillets on all sides with the salt. Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat. With tongs, gently place the salmon, flesh-side down, in the pan. Allow the salmon to cook, undisturbed, for 3 minutes to form a golden crust. Using a spatula, gently flip each fillet. Transfer the pan to the oven for an additional 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cover with foil to keep warm.
• For the succotash: Heat the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red peppers and shallots and cook for 4 minutes, stirring often with a wooden spoon. Add the corn, edamame and salt and cook for another 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the kale, basil and lemon juice.
• To serve: Spread 2 tablespoons of the sauce in a circle on each serving plate. Top with 1/2 cup of the succotash, and a salmon fillet. Serve with sauce on the side if desired.

SEARED SCALLOPS WITH CREAMY SUMMER SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until well browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a paper-towel lined plate. Discard all but 1 tablespoon of the fat in the pan.
• Return the skillet to medium-high heat. Add the red onion and cook, stirring often, until just tender, about 2 minutes. Add the corn and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the corn is crisp-tender, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Combine 1/2 cup of the corn mixture with the heavy cream in a blender. Blend until smooth and reserve.
• Add 1 more tablespoon of the oil to the skillet with the remaining corn mixture and turn the heat to medium-high. Add the haricots verts and bell pepper and cook, stirring often, until the haricots verts are bright green and crisp tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in the cherry tomatoes, reserved corn puree and pancetta. Cook until the mixture is bubbling and warmed through, about 1 minute. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper. Set aside and keep warm over low heat.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over high heat. Pat the scallops dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper. Add to the skillet and cook, undisturbed, until browned on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Flip and sear until just cooked through, about 1 minute more.
• Stir half the torn basil into the corn mixture, then spoon the succotash onto plates. Top with the seared scallops and serve with more torn basil on top.

SUMMER SUCCOTASH

Steps:

• Heat a grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the corn until lightly charred on all sides, about 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then cut off the kernels and reserve.
• Heat the oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the onion and sweat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute. Add the lima beans and tomatoes and cook until tender, about 5 minutes.
• Add the reserved corn to the saute pan. In a small bowl, mix together the butter and mayonnaise. Add the mixture to the succotash along with the lime juice. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to serving bowl.
• Sprinkle with the basil, Pecorino-Romano, cilantro, mint and smoked paprika.

SHEET-PAN TROUT AND SUCCOTASH RECIPE | EPICURIOUS

Steps:

• Arrange a rack in top third of oven; preheat to 450°F. Line an 18x13" rimmed baking sheet with foil. Lay trout open like a book, skin side down and alternating head-to-tail next to each other on one half of pan. Sprinkle flesh with Old Bay, then dot with half of butter. Arrange lemon slices over.
• Drape a long (about 30") piece of foil crosswise over other half of pan. Toss together corn, green beans, tomato, salt, and remaining butter on foil. Fold edges up and over to create packet; pinch edges closed.
• Roast until trout is opaque and cooked through, about 10 minutes. You want to check the thickest part of the flesh-if you need to lift a lemon to look at it, do so, and continue roasting until it's totally opaque.
• While fish is cooking, whisk mayonnaise, lemon juice, and pepper in a small bowl until smooth.
• Divide trout and succotash among plates. Serve with mayonnaise sauce alongside.
