Pair salmon with one of these delicious veggie side dishes. Vegetables that go with salmon, like zucchini, broccoli, cucumber and spinach, are perfect sides especially for summer. Plus, they’re easy to make, only taking 30 minutes or less to prepare. Recipes like our Cauliflower Rice and Garlic & Parmesan Roasted Carrots are flavorful and seasonal.Vegetable side dishes always taste best when fresh, but if you have cookedleftovers, you can enjoy them longer if you properly store them. A set ofairtight containersis always a wise investment, as it will help slow down spoilage and prevent odors from mingling with your other fridge foods. Before packing, most cooked vegetables should be cooled to room temperature before affixing the lid. Otherwise, the seal may be compromised, plus the steam from the hot vegetables will wreak havoc on your finished dish. As with any food, the number of days that cooked leftovers will be good is a guideline. Using your senses and good judgment will help determine freshness. If your food looks odd or smells odd, it’s best to toss it.
