  4. Cook succotash over low heat for about 10-15 minutes
  5. While succotash is cooking, heat a couple tablespoons of olive oil in a saute pan or skillet over medium-high heat
  6. Add salmon to pan (skin-side down) and sear for 3 minutes. Reserve marinade for next step
  7. Flip salmon and add marinade to pan. Lower heat to medium, cover pan, and cook for 4 minutes
  8. When done, serve salmon over mixed greens or cooked rice, and top with Mexican succotash, crumbled goat cheese, and any other toppings you desire
