]]> Grilled salmon is one of the tried-and-true staples in almost every kitchen, and there’s a darn good reason for it: it’s delicious, it’s healthy, and it’s easy to make. What else do you need in a main course? However, as we all know, the main course isn’t everything; you also need a good side dish to complement it, making the meal truly satisfying. If you’re on the hunt for that perfect pairing with your grilled salmon, here are a few great matches you need to know about.

Roasted Garlic Mashed Potatoes

Creamy mashed potatoes with a hint of roasted garlic can provide a satisfying and hearty base for your grilled salmon. The garlic flavor complements the richness of the salmon, making its flavors truly stand out.

Asparagus Bundles

For this one, all you need to do is bundle together fresh asparagus spears, drizzle them with olive oil, sprinkle some salt and pepper, and roast until tender. Asparagus adds a crisp and vibrant element to your beloved salmon dish.

Quinoa Salad With Cherry Tomatoes and Feta

A light and refreshing quinoa salad with cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta can provide a perfect balance to the richness of the salmon. The tangy feta and juicy tomatoes bring a burst of flavor and freshness to each bite.

Garlic Butter Lemon Brussels Sprouts

To make this side dish, sauté Brussels sprouts in garlic butter and lemon juice until they are caramelized and tender. The slight bitterness of Brussels sprouts pairs great with the salmon, and the garlic butter adds a fancy touch.

]]> While the turkey always appears to be the main centerpiece of any ordinary Thanksgiving dinner table, there are plenty of side dishes that you can prepare to make your family dinner even more special. Here are some recipes that you may like to try out this Thanksgiving.

Prime Rib

While turkey can be tasty when cooked right, there’s nothing quite like a prime rib to hit the spot. In addition to being delicious, this roasted ham will provide guests with a variety of proteins to choose from.

Corn Casserole

Seeing as cornbread and casserole are two scrumptious dishes, why not combine them for an unexpected taste adventure? Add some thyme for an extra kick.

Mashed Potatoes

While a simple side dish, mashed potatoes are a creamy treat that goes with a wide array of foods. This makes for a versatile side option that will certainly go down well with a wide variety of guests.

]]> As much as we enjoy burgers and dogs fresh off the grill, when it comes to summer barbecues, it’s the sides we really look forward to. There are so many fun ways to prepare fresh vegetables, and when else do we get to think of potatoes and pasta as “salads?”

Store-bought side dishes will work in a pinch, but in our experience, there are some dishes that are worth making from scratch. Preparing your own sides is also a great way to make sure that everyone’s dietary preferences are able to be met. As summer comes to an end and we get ready for the final cookouts of the season, these are the side dishes we’ll be making on repeat.

Horiatiki Pasta Salad

When most of us think of feta cheese, fresh veggies, and Kalamata olives, we refer to it as a Greek salad, but the “official” name for this combination is horiatiki. This pasta salad recipe is packed with Mediterranean flavors and is a certified crowd-pleaser at any summer gathering. 

Cucumber Salad With Fresh Herbs

Getting your greens in has never been so easy and delicious. This cucumber salad by Minimalist Baker incorporates fresh dill and mint and is ready to serve in just 15 minutes. It can be made with either regular or vegan feta and is naturally gluten-free. 

Roasted Radish & New Potato Salad

The prettiest salad we ever did see. This healthy take on classic potato salad features pink and purple radishes and bite-sized potatoes and is made without mayonnaise. Finish with some spring onion for even more color.

]]> Have you been struggling to come up with new ideas for side dishes lately? Well, don’t fret, because the possibilities are endless and we’re here to suggest a simple, nutritious, and delicious option that you are sure to love: garlic-sauteed zucchini.

Here’s how to make it yourself!

Ingredients

  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • A pinch of salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese

Instructions

First, you will want to wash your zucchini and slice it into pieces that are between a quarter and a half-inch thick.

Next, melt the butter in a large skillet on medium-low heat on your stove. Once you’ve done this, add the zucchini slices to the skillet and then add the garlic powder, salt, and black pepper and saute for 5-10 minutes. You’ll want to wait until the zucchini is soft and transparent.

Just before taking the skillet off of the heat, add the parmesan cheese and stir in to ensure that it is evenly distributed throughout the zucchini.

Allow to cool for a few minutes, and then serve and enjoy!
