Seared Salmon with Edamame Succotash

We have a ton of fish in our deep freezer, salmon being some of it. I've also been trying to figure out more meals with less carbohydrates. It's definitely not easy seeing as I love to eat pasta and bread. This dish is quite easy, it's essentially a one pan meal, which means less dishes! I love the crispy bacon with all of the vegetables. It adds a lot of flavor. I also decided to pair it with rice.

1 cup yellow corn, frozen
1 cup edamame, frozen

2 cloves garlic, chopped

1/2 teaspoon thyme

• Cook bacon in a large pan over medium heat until crispy.
