Well, now, if you’re wonderin’ what to eat with them salmon cakes, I’ll tell ya, there’s plenty of good things that go with ’em. Salmon cakes are good all on their own, but a little somethin’ on the side can make ‘em even better. Don’t go rushin’ to fancy stuff either. We don’t need no highfalutin’ dishes here, just plain good ol’ food like we’re used to.
First thing you can’t go wrong with is a nice fresh salad. You know, just some lettuces, maybe throw in a few tomatoes, cucumbers, and onions. Ain’t nothing fancy, just stuff that’ll freshen up your meal. You could even put a little vinaigrette on it if you like, or just a little salt and pepper.
Another good side to go with them salmon cakes is a scoop of coleslaw. You know, that cabbage salad with the creamy dressing. It’s real good ’cause it adds a little crunch and tang, and it balances out the fish taste real nice. You could even make it yourself, just chop up some cabbage and carrots, mix it with a little mayo, vinegar, sugar, and salt. Simple, but tasty!
If you want somethin’ warm, you could serve your salmon cakes with roasted vegetables. You can roast just about anything—carrots, potatoes, or even some onions and bell peppers. Just toss ‘em with a bit of olive oil and your favorite spices, throw ‘em in the oven, and they’ll come out nice and soft. It’ll make your meal a whole lot heartier.
Grilled asparagus is another side that pairs real well with them salmon cakes. Just grill it up with a little bit of olive oil and salt, and you’re good to go. It’s got that smoky flavor that goes so nicely with the fish, and it ain’t too heavy on the stomach neither.
Now, I can’t forget about potatoes. If you want somethin’ that’ll fill ya up, potatoes are the way to go. You can roast ’em, mash ’em, or even make ‘em into fries if that’s what you’re in the mood for. Either way, they make a good pair with salmon cakes. The buttery flavor of the potatoes goes hand in hand with the richness of the fish.
Now, if you’re lookin’ for somethin’ light but still fills you up, quinoa or couscous would be a good choice. You just cook ’em up and toss ‘em with a little olive oil, maybe even throw in some herbs or garlic for flavor. They’re both healthy, and they soak up the flavors from the salmon cakes real nice.
If you’ve got a grill goin’, throw on some grilled corn. That corn’s got that sweet taste that pairs perfect with the savory salmon cakes. Just grill ’em up and slather a little butter on top, and you’re in business.
And last but not least, don’t forget wild rice. It’s different from your regular rice, got a little nuttier flavor to it, and it goes just fine with salmon cakes. You can cook it up real simple, and it’ll add some good texture and flavor to the meal.
So there you go, plenty of good sides to eat with them salmon cakes. You can pick and choose whatever you fancy, or even have a little bit of everything! Just make sure it’s something that complements the fish, not takes away from it. Don’t make things too complicated, just keep it simple and tasty. That’s how we like to do it around here!
