Why goes with salmon

You just need to slice them up really thin so that they are easier to chew without being cooked. A mandolin is the best tool to thinly slice Brussels sprouts. Simply cut the Brussels sprouts into shredded pieces. Do the same with some fresh apples.

Granny smith work best for this recipe. Toss with your favorite slaw dressing or you can make your own. Some other tasty mix-ins for this slaw are fresh nuts and dried berries. Couscous is a great way to mix up your side options. Saute some diced zucchini or summer squash with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Once you have cooked the couscous, add in diced zucchini or summer squash. Toss with some olive oil, salt, and pepper.

This dish can be served as a hot side or a cold salad option, whichever you prefer. It also makes great leftovers. Sweet potatoes are sweet, delicious, and make a great side option for salmon. Poke the sweet potatoes before baking them. Once they are fully cooked, you can cut in half and finish with some butter, salt, and pepper. Hollandaise sauce pairs perfectly with salmon. It also is a great sauce option for most green vegetables. Some other options could be broccolini or green beans.

There really is not a more classic side option than rice pilaf. Instead of using plain water to cook your rice, use chicken or vegetable stock. Add the rice and let it toast for a few moments.

Try to find fresh tomatoes for this recipe. It will make a huge difference! You can use any type of tomato, just cut them into bite-size pieces. Toss with high quality olive oil, salt, pepper, and fresh herbs and cucumber. Basil, parsley, mint, and cilantro are great herb options for this recipe. Acorn squash is a terrific side option for salmon during the fall and winter months. The squash can be halved or quartered, depending on the size of your squash and how large you want the portions to be.

Before roasting the squash halves, add this tasty stuffing mixture. The stuffing mixture is made by sauteing onions, apples, and fresh chopped herbs. Once the mixture is cooked and toss together, add it to the acorn squash halves.

Roast at F for minutes, or until the squash is tender. Alternatively, corn is a great side option for salmon in the summertime.

Fresh corn will work best for this recipe. Roast the corn cobs whole in an oven at F for about 25 minutes. Remove the corn from the oven and allow to cool. Toss with lime juice and fresh chopped cilantro. Add salt and pepper, if desired. A frittata is a great way to add protein to any meal. Whisk eggs in a small bowl and then add to the skillet. Put the skillet in a preheated oven F and cook until the eggs are completely set. Slice into small wedges and serve alongside your salmon.

Artichokes are a fun, interactive side option that also pairs well with salmon. A great dipping sauce is key here. One simple sauce option is to mix together full fat plain Greek yogurt with lemon juice, fresh herbs, salt, and pepper. You can steam artichokes right in a regular saucepan with a little bit of water. You can add garlic, salt, and pepper to add flavor to the artichokes. Once the artichokes are fully cooked, simply peel off each of the leaves and dip the bottom part into the delicious sauce.

Serving corn on the cob with our salmon is certainly one way to unlock the true flavor of your dish. My kids love it. So easy to make and cook up for our family in know time.
