    Asparagus is best (also, unusually healthy and light on calories, just boil, steam, or even bake... maybe brush with olive oil, but I'm fine with just some salt/pepper)

    Salad or steamed veggies?

    We normally eat it with Salad.

    I love my salmon plain...pan fried with a squeeze of lemon and sprinkling of sea salt and served with new potatoes and green veg or a salad. I sometimes make a watercress sauce from the pan juices with some light creme fraiche, chopped watercress and season to taste.

    I love a little whole grain rice pilaf, and a healthy portion side salad. I like my salmon cooked under the broiler, with a little extra virgin olive oil and greek seasoning, with lemon slice. When I have my salmon cut at the store, I like the thick part. It is so moist!

    Quinoa, black beans, corn. Search for Quinoa recipes and you will find it. It is great with Salmon. Especially BBQed Cedar plank Salmon. Yummy

    Thin slices of lemon on a salmon fillet and wrap asparagus spears around it. Brush ith a tiny amount of olive oil and either grill or fried in a griddle pan.

    I do mine in a little parcel in the oven with lemon, tiny bit of butter and dill and seasoning...yum! Sometimes I do a little pesto and breadcrumb crust on it instead. I have mine with some roasted veg batons on the side or if it's warm out just a simple salad... *made me hungry now*

    We had this tonight.
    Warmed baked salmon, blanched asparagus spears and snow peas.
    Dressing- white wine vinegar, Dijon mustard thyme and lemon juice.
    It went down well!

    I usually make rice and steamed broccoli with salmon. Not very imaginative, I'll admit, but quick and easy. The rice cooker will also steam the broccoli at the same time. Doesn't take long, either.

    It'll be good no matter what you make it with, though. I do like me some salmon!

    Zucchini, saulted butter, cream (not sour), cherry tomato.
    It's absolutely amazing with pasta and cream.

    I used to love it before being a vegetarian.

    This meal is a favorite in our family! I make salmon with asparagus (brush with olive oil, salt, pepper & bake) and brown rice.

    Sometimes if I am feeling fiesty I will chop olives (any kind you can come up with), pimentos, red wine vinegar and capers to make a reiish for it. Delicious!!!!!!

    Roasted Fennel is a nice idea if you like the aniseed/fish combination

    This. And a sweet potato if I'm looking for something substantial also.

    Thank you! The watercress sauce sounds delicious.

    I had salmon for lunch today, I ate it with a tomato and cucumber salad that was dressed with balsamic reduction. Yum :)

    Rice goes really well with salmon, too... if you are looking to add a carb.

    I love salmon steaks. Just wondering what ideas you have. I had a simple meal with beans and sweet potato tonight. Jaimie oliver has a recipe with lentils in 20 min meals im going to try. What do u eat with salmon?

    It's hard to say calories because they will vary on rice/rice noodles and the amount u have less noodles more veg brings it in around 400 which is good for a dinner and its nice and filling.

    Make a marinade 1 spoon of each (tablespoon for 5ish people):

    Garlic (finely chopped or paste)
    Brown Sugar
    Ginger (fresh or powdered again finely chopped)
    Dark Soy Sauce
    Honey (runny)
    Chilli - reduce/increase to taste
    Olive Oil

    Put salmon in tin foil, pour over marinade leave 30 mins max then bang in the oven for 25ish mins until cooked. While its cooking stir fry green beans, broccoli and whatever other veg u like I do mine 0 oil with some lemongrass paste, get some rice or rice noodles, put veg on top of noodles/rice, put salmon on top of that and pour over a bit more of the marinade. It's deliciously sticky lush sexy.
