    Salmon is a delicious source of healthy protein. It's one of the best sources of healthy omega-3s and it's loaded with antioxidants and other nutrients. It's naturally gluten free and low carb and it's Keto, Paleo and Whole 30-friendly.

    Salmon is incredibly easy to cook and it's my go-to for quick, easy meals. Salmon is the perfect weeknight menu option and it's ideal for a dinner party.

    We try to incorporate salmon into our diet every week or every other week. I hate being repetitive so I try to mix up the seasonings that I use and the side dishes that I serve with salmon. Salmon is versatile and can be served with almost anything from an elegant salad to crispy french fries.

    Whether you're planning an intimate dinner for two or serving a crowd, you don't have to wonder what to serve with salmon. These salmon side dishes will delight your palate and keep dinner interesting week after week.
