This sauteed okra tastes fantastic with salmon patties. The recipe calls for salt, olive oil, and okra, but you can also tweak its flavor with different herbs and spices such as bell peppers, chili peppers, mustard, ginger, and onions.

4. Creamy Red Potato Salad

Who says a creamy red potato salad is bound for a picnic and barbecue? It goes well with salmon patties too!The recipe has a nice texture coming from the red potato skin. Mixing the potatoes with fresh herbs and Greek yogurt creates an exciting flavor your family will love. Ensure to make the salad the day before and allow it to chill in the fridge. This allows the flavor to meld.

5. Rice Pilaf

Another side that takes little effort to prepare is the sauteed green beans. Aside from its essential ingredients, the recipe also features limitless possibilities when it comes to recipe variations. Don’t limit yourself with salt and pepper, incorporate other flavors to your green beans by adding minced garlic, lemon, mushrooms, or sprinkle freshly grated parmesan cheese or goat cheese after the last minute of the preparation.

7. Asian Slaw

Give your meal light and refreshing flair by serving this Asian slaw dish. The recipe tastes great with meatballs, grilled chicken, and of course, your prized salmon patties!The slaw tastes better when chilled in the fridge, but this process causes it to be soggy. If you want it to remain crispy:

1. Don’t pre-mix the ingredients.
2. Keep the dressing and the salad mix separate.
3. Just mix all up at the last minute.

8. Blackened Broccoli

This blackened broccoli recipe is the most sought-after side for people who want to step up their salmon pattie game. It has a nice smokey flavor, thanks to the combination of fresh broccoli, garlic, olive oil, butter, sesame oil, and pepper. It’s so filling and satisfying!To add a hint of spiciness, include crushed red pepper flakes to the mix. Using lemon juice on blackened broccoli gives a wonderful flavor to the dish too.

9. Sauteed Sweet Potatoes

It only uses pantry staples, yet its flavor profile is topnotch!The taste of the recipe depends on the quality of the rice you’re using. I love making this dish with basmati rice as it offers a nutty flavor and a beautiful aroma. If you don’t have such an ingredient, then use whatever rice you have on hand!

12. Roasted Asparagus

Were you looking for a quick and easy vegetable-based recipe to go with your salmon patties? Give this roasted asparagus a shot!Asparagus, salt, pepper, and olive oil are the necessary ingredients to whip up this dish. If you find salt and pepper boring, try using other spices for seasoning.

13. Tex-Mex Quinoa Salad

Once you learn how to make your own tartar sauce, you will never go back to the store-bought ones ever again!Typically paired with seafood, tartar sauce is rich, creamy, and tangy.But once you’ve learned to make tweaks to it on your own, you can modify it to go together with just about anything!

27. Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

Stuffed mushrooms have always been a staple side dish or appetizer at many a get-together.Traditionally, they’ve always been stuffed with cheeses, creamy sauces, meats, or a combination of all three.But crabs?Mushrooms are one of those earthy, neutral ingredients that seem to subtly take in the flavor of whatever it’s prepared with. So yes, it works, and deliciously so.
