I love using sweet vibrant corn that gets shaved right off the cob paired with juicy ripe tomatoes and crunchy, yet tender edamame beans. Squeeze some tangy lemon juice right on top for a nice finish and you will have a light and satisfying meal that says summer is officially here! Make this while you can because summer isn’t here for a long time, but it is here for those good times this season.

This might be the dreamiest summer meal you’ve ever had. Just picture yourself out on your patio on a hot bright breezy summer day, sipping your favorite drink of choice, indulging in this light yet satisfying meal and conversing with your loved ones gathered around the table. Ahhhh, I can already feel the satisfaction.

But wait, it gets better! Not only is this dish satisfying in taste and feel, but it is so easy to prepare and requires minimal clean up at the end! Am I speaking your language yet? Good, that is what I thought. Making this succotash requires little to no cooking and can be whipped together in an easy 20 minutes.

You do have to boil the corn, however that only takes 7 of that 20 minutes. Easy peasy! I also like to quickly boil my frozen edamame beans for no more than 5 minutes as well. While all of that is happening, you can chop up the other ingredients and toss them in a bowl so when those two are done in the pot, you’re good to go! Then, while the salmon is cooking, you can chill this in the fridge.

This salmon recipe is perfect for serving at a party when you need to feed a big crowd or a week night dinner if you only need to feed 2–4. When I am hosting a summer bbq I absolutely love serving this. It is a great option and way to change up the typical hotdogs, burgers or even grilled chicken breasts that tends to get served. The blackened salmon flavor gives the vibe that it was barbecued, even though it wasn’t. Shhhh. Plus the fresh vibrant vegetables and tangy lemon juice scream summer vibes.

Now, I will let you in on my secret on how I get that barbecued flavor without it being barbecued. Drum roll please….I bake it! But, there is a little more to it than just that. I like to make sure that every inch of the salmon filet is covered with the blackened salmon rub and I make sure to press and rub the seasoning into the filet. When it gets baked, it creates that nice charred crisp flavorful outside of the entire filet. It’s magnificent!
