"Try these quick and delicious side dishes for salmon, from 5-minute steamed vegetables to roasted potatoes! They're perfect for weeknight dinners or special occasions with this heart-healthy fish. What goes with salmon? Salmon is one of the easiest healthy dinner ideas that I often turn to for quick weeknight meals. But when I'm looking to make it into a meal, it can be hard to find a fast side dish that can compete with the speed of salmon."
"Think about balance. Recipes with a rich sauce like Honey Glazed Salmon pair well with acidic sides like lemon green beans or cucumber salad. Lighter salmon recipes work with heartier sides like farro or roasted potatoes. Match your salmon timing. Salmon cooks quickly, usually 10-15 minutes depending on thickness. Pick sides that cook in similar time frames or that can be prepped ahead and reheated."
Quick, delicious side dishes for salmon range from 5-minute steamed vegetables to roasted potatoes, suitable for weeknight dinners or special occasions. Sides are organized by total cook time so faster options appear first and longer ones follow. Rich, sauced salmon pairs well with acidic sides like lemon green beans or cucumber salad, while lighter salmon works with heartier sides such as farro or roasted potatoes. Match side cook times to salmon’s typical 10–15 minute cooking window or prepare sides ahead to reheat. Contrast salmon’s soft, flaky texture with crispy roasted vegetables or crunchy chopped salads. A sheet-pan salmon-and-asparagus meal bakes at 425°F in under 30 minutes.
