Smoked Salmon, Carrotash, and Buttermilk Cornbread

I modified my succotash recipe last night to accommodate a bean-hating guest; I used carrots instead of lima beans. It was still delicious. With a quick pan of buttermilk cornbread and a smoked salmon I pulled out of the freezer the day before, it was an easy meal that was cheap and offered some good nutrition. Oh -- and it was really yummy.
