What would you serve with...

[Jessica]

An entree of salmon with white wine/mustard sauce?

Thanks!

With salmon, I've served steamed broccoli and roasted potatoes;
I've served sweet potato puree and side of peas and pearl onions. I've also served spinach or a small bean salad.....

Hmm... I'm thinking "keep it simple" since you'll have such a lovely sauce to go with the salmon.

How about steamed spinach with roasted red peppers (for color) and a delicious ensemble of oven-roasted red potatoes?

And for wine? How about an Alsace Pinot Gris, White Bordeaux or White Burgundy? (what sort of wine are you making the sauce with?)

Ooo...YUM!

I'm partial to green beans with almonds myself. Or steamed asparagus if it's not to expensive! Or a vegetable mix of steamed zucchini (slices or wedges), red pepper, baby patty pan squashes, sliced baby carrots all topped with freshly grated parmesan.

The Back to the Best from Jan/Feb 02 with a flavorful cheese to complement the mustard wine sauce also sounds good. Or baby red potato wedges served with a sprinkling of fresh parsley over the top. Herbed basmati rice is also very nice!

Gosh! Now I'm hungary!:D

I'll add a second vote for a white burgundy! I just tried my first a week ago and it was very good! It would complement your salmon well I think. Sorry I don't have the name handy...:rolleyes:

The Sesame Roasted Asparagus from May '01 or the Roasted Asparagus with Balsamic Browned Butter from September '01 are both terrific; for a different take on potatoes and something that you can make in advance and which looks really impressive: the Tortilla Espanola from August '01- a beautiful potato cake.

For wine, I'd go for a Chablis (White Burgundy) or a Riesling.

have fun!

Personally, nothing apart from new potatoes rolled in parsley butter. But before the salmon I'd have an avocado, spinach and bacon salad and to follow salmon either strawberries on a huge white dish, sugared and with a few drops balsamic vinegar sprinkled over half an hour before serving - no cream - or if strawbs not in season, a Tarte Tatin - again, no cream - the buttery caramelly juices are enough.

I am utterly incapable of enjoying my salmon without spinach nearby (garlic-spiked). And I like the idea of parsleyed new potatoes, even though I am a rice gal. Potato-scaling the salmon is fun and tasty, too, but will add more fat and calories.

As long as Lori brought up the subject of wine, I'm a salmon with semillon person, m'self... (Signorello or Indian Peak preferred)

Roasted asparagus - my fave. I also like rice, especially a wild/white rice combo with salmon. Potatoes would be good too.
