i like a nice terriyaki, soy, honey and red pepper flake marinade, then grill it. Normally i will poach salmon with a combo of water, white wine and fresh dill then finish it with some fresh lemon juice. I will also make a lemon dill sauce on occasion. A nice option is to make a pan sauce with a little butter, white wine, diced tomatoes, basil and capers then hit it with a touch of heavy cream. as for carb sources brown rice is good i make mine with crushed garlic and sometimes a touch of chicken stock. I don't care for quinoa. Roasted new potaotes with italian herbs and olive oil is great. I also like high starch veg like zucchini or squash that is cut medium thicknes length wise and grilled with red onion. the other thing i like is to get canned black beans, kidney beans, garbanzos and white kidney beans, drain them, then mix them all with chopped parsely, chopped cilantro diced onion, diced tomato and tossed with olive oil and vinegar.
