One of the secrets of delicious fish dishes is the right side dish. What is the best supplement for fish?
Potatoes are the best side dish for fish
Potatoes in any form go well with fish. At the same time, it is best to serve boiled potatoes with boiled fish, fried potatoes with fried fish, and mashed potatoes with fish cakes.
Along with potatoes, fresh vegetables are also served with fish: tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers. The addition of herbs: parsley or dill will also be very appropriate.
What other vegetables can be served as a side dish with fish
Fish goes well not only with potatoes, but also with other vegetables. As a side dish, you can cook cauliflower, stewed carrots, zucchini stew, green pea puree. And for baked fish, spinach stewed in cream would be an excellent solution. If you need to cook a side dish quickly and you don't have time, reheat any fresh frozen vegetable mixture.
Light salads made from fresh vegetables are also recommended for fish dishes. This combination will fit perfectly into any diet. For salads, use fresh cucumbers, tomatoes, bell peppers and herbs, and season them with olive oil, lemon juice, or low-fat sour cream. If the fish is bland, serve a salad with pickles, capers or olives to enrich the flavor.
Loose rice
In many eastern countries, rice is the most popular side dish for fish. With a neutral flavor, it allows for many interesting combinations. So, you can serve simply boiled rice as a side dish for fried fish, or you can make a more complex side dish by cooking rice with corn and tomatoes or peanuts.
What side dishes should not be served with fish
Fish does not go well with pasta, cereals (except for rice) and stewed cabbage.
