Decided on a change this year....less fuss....less cooking....more time for eating chocolate and having a relaxing time. Just going to bake in oven with lemon juice and butter. Can you suggest a sauce to accompany this apart from parsley....going to do new potatoes, green beans and carrots.

shegot those are great accompaniment ideas. I agree with you about the richness.

Salmon on crutches is the biz.

Has sauce under the pastry. M+S provides all this, and the rest of the sides too.

Yumiddy yum yum yum.

Thanks blacktea

Another awesome accompaniment for salmon is grilled/pan fried little gem lettuce (cut in half lengthways), which is also a sort of 'winter lettuce.' The flavour transforms when grilled - it's delicious, a bit special and dead easy.

Would go with that chili thing I mentioned above Grin

Oh and definitely green veg with Salmon with a cream/ dill sauce.

I'd say spinach and broccolli , have lemon wedges so you can cut the richness and a bit of garlic with the salmon when cooking - enjoy!

Thedevilmademedoit beat me to it, I would go for Hollandaise for fish. Asda sells it if you are looking for ready made. my uncle would serve his homemade one warm, directly out of the pan.

Yes on the pomegranate. We always used to get one for our parrot at Xmas. He loved them.
