It\u2019s food born from resourcefulness and big flavour, and it\u2019s never really gone out of style. Paired here with succotash \u2013 which at its core simply needs corn and beans \u2013 this dish is vibrant, quick to cook to order and incredibly versatile once the prep is done. A modern nod to the Cajun salmon classic, lifted with fresh veg, clean heat and a spice mix that
