What are good side dishes for blackened salmon?

Question

We are trying to change our food habits and looking for some tasty alternatives to plain broccoli.

Answer 1

Try Jasmine rice. My sister makes this with her salmon and her family loves it.

2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped onion
1/4 cup green peas
1 bay leaf
1 1/2 cups dry jasmine rice
3 cups water
salt to taste
DIRECTIONS
In a large saucepan over a medium-low heat, warm the oil. Add onion and saute for 3 to 5 minutes. Mix in green peas, bay leaf, and jasmine rice. Stir to coat the rice.
Pour 3 cups water into the saucepan and add the salt. Increase the heat to medium and let the rice come to a quick simmer. Reduce heat to low and let rice simmer lightly and sit uncovered until all of the liquid is absorbed. Cover the rice and remove from heat, let sit approximately 40 minutes.
I don't like fish but I like the rice.
Or how about asparagus.

Answer 3

Brown rice is better for you than white rice. If you are on a low carb diet then any green vegetable is good. You could always add a nice salad for a side dish.

Answer 4

fresh fish, pan blackened with cajun spices, onions, peppers, mushrooms, white wine and garlic butter. Served with choice of red beans and rice, pasta salad or fries. That's from the south beach grill menu. Start with a salad of wild greens. Cheesecake for dessert.

Answer 5

What is wrong with a plain green salad? If you like fennel, slice thinly and mix with olive oil, balsamic vinegar and black pepper, leave to rest for about half an hour. It tastes great and goes really well with fish. Good luck and Merry Christmas xxxx.
