This was an accidental recipe that I now can’t get enough of and want it all of the time.
First, you roast some vegetables in the oven. While they are roasting cook up some farro.
Then mix it all together, and you have an amazing side for salmon.
Made with just a few simple ingredients, this recipe is both easy to make and packed with flavor.
The natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes is balanced perfectly with savory ingredients like all-spice, thyme, and butter.
And the addition of cream cheese gives these mashed potatoes a creamy, luxurious texture that’s sure to satisfy.
Oh my, buttered noodles for the win! They’re the ultimate go-to side dish if you want something yummy but feel tired.
Rice And Fruit Salad With Peaches, Berries And Almonds
This rice and fruit salad contains juicy berries, sliced almonds, chopped fresh or canned peaches, a light vinaigrette, shallots, and cooked rice. In the end, we all agreed that it would be wonderful alongside a piece of fish, grilled chicken, or good on its own.
Buttery Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes
When cooked in the Instant Pot, sweet potatoes become remarkably soft, their flesh deepening into a caramel hue that hints at their natural sugars. Serve these straight from the pot, hot and fragrant, beside roasted chicken or try them as a warm base for chili.
Radishes turn into an entirely different vegetable when they are roasted in the oven.
They mellow out and become so rich in flavor. They become a bit sweet when they are roasted, and that sweetness tends to complement salmon quite well.
Asparagus seems to go great with seafood and fish as a general rule, but what to serve with salmon? Wow -chef’s kiss-
Ingredients include: Asparagus, prosciutto, ground black pepper, and olive oil.
This Lemon pepper sauce is a buttery delight, a classic salmon accompaniment that can be served spooned over fish when it’s done cooking, or during a light poaching of salmon on the stove top.
Try making this lemon pepper sauce with ingredients you have on hand, so if you don’t have fresh thyme, oh well. Just break out the dried thyme from the pantry.
