What To Serve With Fish
There are a few things to consider when choosing side(s) to serve with seafood. If you're planning to cook a fatty and meaty fish like salmon, you'll want to accompany it with something that has a touch of acidity, while a much lighter fish like haddock calls for hearty vegetables.
Secondly, think about the recipe's flavor profiles. If you're preparing shrimp pad Thai, for instance, the dish's notes of sweetness and spice should carry through to your fixings.
