Although succotash, a mixture of corn, lima beans, and tomatoes, sometimes including other bean varieties, bell peppers, and other vegetables, originated in the North, it has become a summer mainstay in the South. Usually cooked on the stovetop, we roast the succotash in the oven topped with salmon fillets for an easy weeknight meal. This recipe will likely enter your supper rotation not only because it is so tasty, but because you will be left with just the baking sheet to clean.

1 spray(s)

Frozen baby lima bean

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 475°F. Spray large rimmed baking sheet with nonstick spray. Place lima beans, corn, tomatoes, onion, garlic, and 1⁄4 tsp salt on baking sheet. Spray with nonstick spray and toss vegetables to coat. Season fish with 1⁄2 tsp salt and 1⁄2 tsp black pepper. Arrange fillets, rounded-side up, on top of vegetables.
  2. Roast until fillets are opaque in centers and vegetables begin to caramelize, 7 to 10 minutes. Keep fillets and vegetables in oven and turn on broiler. Pour half-and-half and wine over fillets and vegetables. Broil until fillets are golden brown on top and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Garnish with basil. Serve with lemon wedges for squeezing over top.
