NPCE: Need help with a side dish for salmon..

[gpw]

So, I'm making a thai chili lime cashew salmon fillet for dinner tonight..I'm also going to make a cucumber, tomato avocado salad with a lime vinaigrette. I need one more thing... any ideas?

I'm not against a starch, but everything I think of seems to heavy to go with the other things...

ideas?

Bok choy

agreed with atouchofklasse. I'm doing a asianish fish tonight too and one of my sides is going to be baby bok choy. Just real simple - like this: wanderingchopsticks.blogspot.com/2009/12/sauteed-bok-choy-with-garlic.html

See, Ima need that salmon recipe.

We love my horseradish apple jelly glaze, but I want something different

If you want something more fun than just plain rice you could do a little rice cake. Cook up some rice, mix in some seasoning (garlic, ginger, whatever) and some rice wine vinegar and pack it into balls. Stick 'em in the fridge for a bit, and then sear them into little rice patties with a crispy top and bottom.

if you want to use brown rice you're going to have a hell of a time getting them to stay together (it works best with short grain sticky rice) but it'll still kinda work if you just coax them all to stay in a pile.

I made chili lime salmon the other night and served it with sauteed spinach and roasted potatoes and onions (but I also have to make sure my foods are what the 3 year old will eat).

Asparagus? I love it with salmon. Or baked sweet potatoes (cubed and baked like fries, not like a whole one!).

I'd make a spiced rice too. Rice with cilantro, mint and lime.

I was just thinking of this...but I am going to check out the bok choy recipe. I don't know if I can get it past my, but I sure may try.

Adding an egg and maybe a tablespoon of flour might help to bind the wheat rice together.
