Subject: With Spicy Salmon

Hi guys, I am making the www.bigoven.com/159960-Spicy-Baked-Salmon-recipe.html and my guest wants mashed potatoes with it.  I was thinking that something like a honey-lemon glaze over the whole thing would imporve the potatoes and add a nice contrast to the hot salmon.  Any better ideas?

Perhaps roasted garlic mashed potatoes?

Although I love garlic mashed potatoes I think it would be to garlicy since the salmon has garlic in it already. I would go with a regular mashed potatoes and a dill sauce. The sour cream and cucumber in the dill sauce is cooling. Dill also goes great with salmon.

1/2 cup sour cream
2 tbsp finely chopped cucumber
1 tbsp chopped fresh dill (or 1/2 tsp dried dillweed)
2 tsp minced fresh chives or green onions
salt and pepper to taste

In small bowl, combine sour cream, cucumber, dill, chives, salt and pepper.

Good call -- I might have to try that dill sauce myself!
