Fried Fish, Baked Fish Filet, Grilled Fish, Fish, and Chips…. Enough of these old fish recipes. If you are up for something new, creative yet healthy, try making crispy Southern fried salmon patties for your family. It is a new style dish to serve at celebrations, potluck dinners, party sides, and regular family meals. You can also incorporate them in burgers, as a side for steaks, or as an individual main meal. But the question is, what to serve with salmon patties? Especially when you may have picky eaters in your family. If you are not up for the fish, you can go for the side dish! Try these out for your next dinner, and show those culinary skills.
Salads
Lebanese Fattoush Salad
Lebanese Fattoush Salad is a true feast for the senses. The vibrant colors of lettuce, tomatoes, and green herbs combine to create a mesmerizing recipe you can’t resist. The tangy lemon juice and sumac dressing add a refreshing zing to every bite, while the feta cheese crumbles provide a delicious salty contrast. Each bite brings a satisfying crunch and a sense of connection to the Mediterranean culture.
French Carrot Salad
This FRENCH Carrot gives you the perfect blend of sweet and spicy taste with refreshing feel. It combines healthy vegetables, nuts, and fruits to serve at summer parties, lunch, and dinner as a main meal or as a side dish with other options. You can pair it up with Pot Crustless Quiche, Keto FRENCH Onion Soup, Chicken Coq AU Vin, and Baked Chilean Sea Bass.
Potato Salad
The thing I like the most about potato salad is that it can be made both spicy and non-spicy. You can customize the ingredients and add additional veggies as well. All you need is some mayo, sour cream, mustard, and vinegar blend. Throw in boiled and cubed potatoes, eggs, green onion, and anything you like. Spice it up with paprika or cayenne. Fresh ground black pepper and kosher salt will make a less spicy version of it.
Spinach and Carrot Salad
Salads do not necessarily need to have all the regular veggies. Try this salad which has a combination of sauteed spinach, carrots, raisins, and almonds. While the spinach loses its crunch when sauteed, roasted almonds add to the nutty and crunchy texture. Boost up the flavors using the tangy Italian salad dressing.

Cabbage Salad
This side dish recipe is For the people who always count calories at the dinner table. Chop up the cabbage and toss in the vinaigrette. Salt and ground pepper add to taste. It gives a desired crunch to the salmon patties without adding to the caloric count of the meal. You can be creative and toss in more vegetables, like julienned carrots, cucumbers, and some lettuce leaves to make it a more crunchy salad.

Tropical Fruit Mix Salad
Tropical fruits boost the flavors of any main meal. Their citrus content allows iron to be well absorbed by the body, making the feed more nutritionally useful. You can use any seasonal fruits, but tropical ones like peaches, pineapples, kiwis, oranges, and pomegranates work well together.

If you cannot think of anything else, why not pair up roasted sweet potatoes with the salmon patties? Sweet potatoes, when baked with light herbs and peppers, give a blended flavor to any seafood. They are rich in carbs and make the meal complete. Serve with a Greek yogurt dip or classic tartar sauce.
