    I made a rice pilaf with wild rice and brown rice in the oven, last time I made salmon.

    I used sliced almonds instead of pecans. Everyone loved this rice.

    Pretty much whatever you want.

    I tend to like vegetables (broccoli, asparagus, Brussels sprouts) and (sometimes) rice.

    Baby new potatoes, boiled or roasted in their skins and watercress sauce. Lots of greens - we add asparagus or tenderstem broccoli, whichever is in season. Was last night's dinner, in fact!

    Oh yeah and one of my meal prep favorites is to just grill with sea salt, coarse black pepper and lemon juice... Then serve that cold the next day on top of a spinach/mixed green salad with veggies, blueberries, goat cheese and poppy seed dressing...

    No votes for the smoked type with cream cheese and a bagel...?

    (OP didn't specify low-calorie, after all... ;) )

    Raw salmon? Wasabi. Or cream cheese.

    I love zucchini noodles with pesto sauce as a side dish. Kale sauteed in garlic and olive oil is also pretty good!

    Everything is good with salmon.

    I like it seared in a pan and served with any of these:

    Nothing
    Lemons
    Garlic, walnuts, salt, butter chopped together and toasted in a pan
    Kalamata olives and onions
    Baked lemon and onion slices
    Asparagus
    Salad
    Mashed Potatoes oh yeah.

    Or poached in little packets of parchment, with asparagus and lemon slices, salt and pepper.

    But I'd try it with just about anything.

    I am really intrigued how many people said mashed potatoes with salmon... It would never have occurred to me to put those together. Sweet potatoes yes, regular russet potatoes no. I don't have a good reason, just didn't occur to me. May have to try it!

    That's what I had last night! Cooked with chopped fresh rosemary on top and a squeeze of lemon. Sides were garlic broccoli and jasmine rice.... yummy.

    Make sure you leave the "FARM' salmon in the grocery store and buy "WILD".

    Buying farm salmon is like eating tilapia.

    What is good with salmon?
    Depending on how it's prepared of course but Chardonnay generally goes well. A nice Chablis would be my choice.

    I am famous within my group of friends for the salmon that I make! They're actually trying to get it sold within a local Italian resturant.

    2 lbs. salmon
    2 eggs, whisked
    1 c. Progresso Italian breadcrumbs
    1 c. Locatelli cheese
    1/2 c. fresh parsley, chopped
    2 T. minced garlic
    1 T. salt
    1 T. pepper
    1/2 stick butter, cubed

    Preheat oven to 350-degrees. Mix breadcrumbs, cheese and parsley. Dip salmon filets in eggs and then into breadcrumb mixture. Coat thouroughly. Place on greased pan. Add extra breadcrumb mixture to any bare areas. Season with salt and pepper, top with garlic and cubed butter. Bake for 35-minutes uncovered or until center of filet is flaky and light pink.

    I usually serve with steamed asparagus, pesto pasta (I live with two fully Italian boys, they love their pasta - I skip this portion of the meal) and a salad.
