I am having salmon patties tonight. I am getting some dill dip to put
on top of it (just a dollop), but what would be good with the patties?
I want something that will compliment the flavor of the salmon. Would
potatoes be good and if so, what kind? What about a vegetable?

Thanks in advance for your help.

How about a few boiled new potatos with butter and herbs and some steamed
asparagus?

Sounds good to me! Even a mixed greens type salad with a viniagrette
dressing...

Mmm. My thoughts too! Ferrante could also roast the
asparaus or potoatoes coated in olive with garlic.


Practice safe eating - always use condiments

Mashed potatoes, and you are allowed to top a bite of salmon patty
with a blob of potato
Marinated cucumbers

No, I forbid it. Put it on the side.

That sounds like a *great* idea, to go with my salmon patties that
I'm afraid to make.

The potatoes _are_ on the side. Then you accidently swipe your
forkful of salmon patty through the potatoes with a nonchalant
expression on your face.

Have courage! Some red wine will calm your nerves.

Potatoes are excellent, especially Russian Banana fingerlings. Rice pilaf
works well, too, as does quinoa (which you can do either plain or as a
pilaf). Perhaps best of all is wild rice, especially if you have access to
the real thing rather than the now much more common paddy wild rice.

Vegetables: the 2 classics are asparagus or green beans. Snow peas also
work very well. Salmon is a very fatty fish, so I recommend against adding
butter to any of the above vegetables. Just have some available at the
table so if there are diners who feel that such vegetables just aren't
complete without butter they can add it to their taste.

I didn't see this until just now. I had salmon patties last night too.
We had steamed broccoli and lettuce salad (mixed greens) on the side
along with a little leftover three bean salad. We skipped hte dill dip
though (DH doesn't care for it and I don't miss it). What did you end
up having with yours?

I have not had it yet. Timing turned out to be wrong, but I will be
having it shortly and I've got some great ideas from all of you.

I would like to get a small steamer for veggies. Can anyone recommend
something?

Thanks so much!
