What goes well with grilled salmon?

Question

I'm trying to eat healthy and since it's hot, I'm going to cook the salmon outside on the grill. If you know of any good sides (that don't take a long time inside or that don't make the house hot or that can be cook on the grill) please tell me. Thanks!

Answer 1

yellow rice, lemons and asparagus! :)

MMMMMMmmmmmmm

Sounds like a GOOD dinner!!

Answer 2

I make grilled salmon on hot summer days. I usually make rice pilaf from a box like Rice-A- Roni. The pilaf is cheap and very easy to make. Fresh asapragus that is grilled with the salmon is also a good choice because if you grill the asparagus with the salmon, some of the salmon's flavor also cooks into the asparagus. All you have to do to the asparagus is wash it with cold water (so it doesn't wilt) and sprinkle it with a little bit of salt and pepper. Another good alternative is grilled Corn-on-the-Cob. You can buy it from the store and all you do is put it on the grill. Don't peel the skin because it keeps the corn inside from burning. It's simple to make and cheap!

Answer 3

Grilled Salmon goes very well with a nicely sauteed Bald Eagle. Naw..I'm just kidding. Serve grilled salmon with some some steamed veggies and a glass of white wine.

Answer 4

I love to marinate my salmon in garlic, soy sauce, brown sugar and green onion. A simple salad with asian dressing completes the meal. If you want, microwave some white rice or pilaf. I've even eaten the salmon for breakfast, it's just that good!
Grill skin side down and be sure not to overcook.

Answer 5

whenever i have salmon, i usually like to have some asparagus with it, usually grilled. also some hollandaise sauce is nice because i think that it compliments both the salmon and asparagus, but not too much because it will defeat the purpose of eating healthy! also i usually have some white rice with salmon. i just love how it goes together.

Answer 6

I often serve an orange almond salad with grilled salmon. I think they go together nicely. Use lettuce, spinach or whatever salad greens suit your fancy.
- Salad greens, thoroughly washed in plain water
- Heinz tarragon vinegar
- Slivered, blanched almonds
- 1 can mandarin orange wedges
- olive oil
I use un-roasted, blanched, slivered almonds, and toast them myself. This step may sound like a lot of trouble, but once you get the hang of it, it takes just a few minutes.To toast almonds, stir them continuously in a little oil over medium to medium-high heat, until they begin to turn a nice golden brown. Be careful not to burn. Remove with slotted spoon to a bowl and allow to cool. I like a lot of almonds, perhaps 1/3 cup for 4 servings, but the amount you use isn't crucial.
Make a tarragon dressing by adding tarragon vinegar to olive oil, to taste.
Toss the greens with the dressing, divide greens among salad bowls, and top each with the mandarin orange wedges and toasted almonds.

Answer 7

1 package tofu and as many green beans as you like, stir-fried in a sweet and spicy sauce (I like The Ginger People's "Spicy Chilli" marinade, about 3 Tbsp, with 1 Tbsp soy sauce and 1 tsp sesame oil). Make sure you put the tofu (probably cut into smallish cubes) in the pan first, let it sizzle in the cooking oil of your preference for at least a few minutes on each side... the crispier you get it, the more it'll soak in the flavor of the sauce. Mix the sauces/oil together in a bowl and pour it in, coat the tofu well, and add the green beans. The green beans will add just the right amount of snap, and I've found this combination suits most kinds of fish.

Answer 10

Do you like Asparagus?

Take some asparagus, drizzle it with olive oil, chopped garlic, salt and pepper...wrap it in aluminum foil and cook it right on the grill. Takes about 10 minutes or so and will be nice and tender...very tasty.

Answer 11

Slice some zucchini lengthwise and brush them with Italian dressing, grill! Something else that goes good with salmon...GRITS!!! Really. You might want to try it sometime, when you want to do a little stove cooking.
