1. Oven Fried Catfish
Catfish is a staple dish in the South and this recipe makes the best fried catfish without actually having to fry it! Your friends will be running to the table for a plate of butter bean and corn succotash topped with a hot piece of oven-fried catfish!
You’ll have a breaded, flavorful protein and a hearty veggie side with this combination. The Southern comfort specialties of both succotash and fried catfish go great together to make a good, homey meal that everyone will love!
2. Cajun Shrimp
My Cajun shrimp is a zesty, flavorful protein that pairs well with so many different things! The Cajun kick of the shrimp balances out with some sweeter corn, bacon, and butter bean succotash!
I love to add both my succotash and shrimp to the same bowl and mix it for one hearty, flavorful, and healthy meal!
3. Air Fryer Thick Cut Pork Chop
The golden-brown sear on these pork chops is so mouthwatering that it’s hard to believe it was cooked in an air fryer! This recipe is a quick and easy one, so it is a great meaty main dish to go with your equally-as-easy succotash!
If you're looking for what to serve with succotash on busy weeknights, this recipe can have a savory, hearty dinner ready in less than 35 minutes!
4. Grilled Cowboy Ribeye Steak
Steak is the ultimate meaty main and this one is grilled to perfection! A thick-cut, hearty ribeye steak is so filling that it makes sense to add in a lighter side like succotash.
The ribeye steak adds just enough meaty smokiness without overpowering any of the fresh and light flavors from the veggies in the succotash! It’s a perfectly delicious combination!
5. Venison Tenderloin Roast
After a long hunting trip, you’re going to have some venison to eat and this recipe is the best way to do it! The naturally rich, earthy flavor from the venison makes one elegant dish.
Combine this juicy and meaty dish with a good bowl of succotash and you’ll have a well-rounded, savory dinner!
6. Fried Chicken
Golden, crispy fried chicken is another Southern classic so it is no surprise it would pair so well with succotash! The crunchy outside and moist and tender inside of the chicken pieces will have everyone coming back for seconds!
Adding some crowd-pleasing succotash next to this fried chicken will make this meal an all-time favorite!
7. Baked Scallops
If you’re in the mood for a lighter, healthier meal option, then these baked scallops will not disappoint! The crispy Parmesan coating adds an extra layer of decadence to these tender and juicy scallops.
Pair these flavorful and crispy scallops with your hearty and healthy succotash for an all-encompassing, delicious meal. Serve it on the side or just mix it all in one bowl- either way, it’s going to be a winner!
8. Roasted Peppers & Onions
Succotash goes great with more than just meaty dishes. These roasted peppers and onions are a flavorful topping for a vast variety of meals!
These peppers and onions are roasted to perfection and can add an extra boost of flavor to anything you put them on. So put them with your succotash to have a flavorful, hearty vegetarian meal!
9. Shrimp & Grits
Topping a big, buttery bowl of grits with some fresh succotash and juicy, tender shrimp is a great way to take your traditional shrimp and grits to a whole new level! While shrimp & grits are flavorful and delicious on their own, there’s something about adding in the fresh veggies from the succotash that immediately turns it into a comforting, southern meal.
10. BBQ Baked Pork Spareribs
Every BBQ meat dish needs a good vegetable side to go with it! Succotash is so delicious and hearty on its own that you won’t even need to add on a potato side with your ribs! This meaty pairing is a great one to serve with succotash at outdoor barbecues you may be hosting this summer!
11. Baked Salmon In Foil
This baked salmon has the light, citrusy flavor from lemon paired with a garlic butter combination that no one can resist. This light and fresh salmon is a quick and easy way to get dinner completed.
Pair it with some bright and colorful succotash for an overall healthy and delectable meal!
12. Brown Stew Chicken
This brown stew chicken is incredibly flavorful and bursting with Jamaican spices. It has a rich sauce that takes it way beyond the flavors of a typical chicken stew.
Add this brown stew chicken to some homemade succotash for a bold and dynamic meal that is way better than your average stew!
13. Chicken Fried Cube Steak
This crispy, juicy fried steak is a comfort food lover's dream come true! Chicken fried cube steak is a family-favorite dish that has some serious flavor! Add in some fresh and filling succotash for an all-in-one meal.

What To Serve With Succotash: Oven Fried Catfish (+More Great Ideas!)
Ingredients
- 1 ½ lb catfish fillets
- ¼ teaspoon each, salt & pepper
- ¼ cup cornmeal
- ¼ cup plain breadcrumbs
- ½ tablespoon Cajun seasoning
- ½ cup buttermilk (milk, or 2 beaten eggs can also be used)
(Note: 2x or 3x only changes the ingredient list)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray it with non-stick spray.
- Season your catfish fillets with salt and pepper, then combine the cornmeal, breadcrumbs, and Cajun seasoning in a shallow baking dish.
- Dip each filet in a bowl of buttermilk, then transfer it to the cornmeal mixture and coat both sides liberally. Once coated, place the fillets on your prepared baking sheet (*see note).
- Bake until crispy and easily flaked with a fork, about 15-20 minutes depending on the thickness of your filets. Serve right away.
Notes
- To make this recipe without cornmeal, simply use a ½ cup of breadcrumbs instead.
- If you like your catfish extra crispy, you may spray the tops of the prepared fillets with non-stick cooking oil or (my personal preference) use a mister with a good quality cooking oil like olive oil.
