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.

SUMMER SUCCOTASH WITH SMOKED SAUSAGE
The inspiration for this recipe came from Southern Cast Iron magazine. They used bacon for this recipe, however, I wanted to make it more like a one pot meal, so I used Kielbasa instead.

JESSICA B. HARRIS'S SUMMER SUCCOTASH
The food historian and writer Jessica B. Harris wrote a whole cookbook, "The Martha's Vineyard Table" (Chronicle Books, 2013), paying tribute to the Massachusetts resort island where lobsters, oysters and farm-fresh vegetables are abundant. This dish is ideal for summer, when the tomatoes are overflowing. Dr. Harris loves to use okra in the place of beans, which are often an ingredient in succotash dishes. If you can't find a habanero chile but still want to add heat, a small jalapeño will work.

Tips:
- Fresh is best: For the best flavor and texture, use fresh vegetables whenever possible. If you can't find fresh vegetables, frozen vegetables are a good alternative.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your succotash. Some good options include corn, lima beans, black beans, tomatoes, onions, and peppers.
- Season to taste: Succotash is a versatile dish that can be seasoned to taste. Some common seasonings include salt, pepper, garlic, onion, and chili powder.
- Cook until the vegetables are tender: Succotash is typically cooked until the vegetables are tender but still have a bit of a bite to them. Overcooking the vegetables will make them mushy.
- Serve immediately: Succotash is best served immediately after it is cooked. If you need to store it, let it cool completely before refrigerating it in an airtight container. Succotash will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Succotash is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. With its colorful vegetables and smoky flavor, succotash is sure to be a hit at your next potluck or barbecue.
