We love salmon so much that we have it every week. Not only is it healthy tasty, but it also goes well with tons of sides. We've rounded up 15 dishes that pair deliciously with salmon so you know exactly what to make next time you are in the mood for salmon.
If you need a go-to salmon recipe, try our famous Furikake Salmon. Make it with the recommended sauce or use your own sauce and seasoning and follow the same cooking method in the recipe. For a different cut of salmon, you must try the most succulent Broiled Salmon Collars (Sake Kama). The meat falls off the bone and has bites of wonderfully flavor-packed salmon.

Pan Fried Potatoes with Herbs
Ingredients
- 1 lb potatoes
- 3 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
- 4 garlic cloves sliced
- 3 tablespoon parsley minced
- 1 sprig thyme minced
- 1 sprig rosemary minced
Instructions
- Toss potatoes - In a mixing bowl, toss the potatoes in 2 tablespoons of olive oil, salt, and pepper.
- Cook garlic - Heat a skillet on medium heat and add the remaining 1 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the olive oil heats, add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Pan-fry potatoes - Add the potatoes to the pan and cover the skillet with a lid. Cook the potatoes for about 12-15 minutes until tender on the inside, stirring halfway through.
- Make potatoes crispy - Remove the lid and turn the heat up to medium-high. Cook the potatoes for an additional 5 minutes, or until the potatoes become golden and crispy.
- Season potatoes and serve - Remove from heat and toss with herbs. Serve warm if eating as a side or at room temperature if serving as a salad topping.
