Salmon and Mashed Potatoes

I don't think it's that weird. If you're worried, rice pilaf definitely goes with all 3.

Sorry to say, but no, mashed isn't a good side for Salmon, a rice is what people would expect to compliment fish!!!

I’m doing salmon with mashed potatoes it’s salmon, steak, mashed potatoes, Mac and cheese, and broccoli

My hubby & I love mashed potatoes with fish!

Are you offering options to guests or is it dual plated. I ask because you have to give a head count 30 days out (most venues) in which case if it is salmon OR beef then you may only have 5 of your 100 guests wanting salmon - which wouldn't be much for the additional cost.

Mashed potatoes goes with anything if you ask me lol!

I agree with PP's, mashed potatoes go perfectly fine with salmon. That's literally what one of my exes would order at every single restaurant we went to lol

Oh gosh, that sounds delicious! I would expect the two to be paired up but I would just love it! I'd say go for it!

I vote for Salmon and Mashed Potatoes! Yum!!

Nothing wrong with salmon and mashed potatoes (I just had salmon piccata with mashed potatoes and it was SO GOOD)


Sometimes when I’m torn about meal selection at weddings I choose for sides and I ALWAYS potatoes over rice! Sometimes i think I’d prefer fish but it has boring rice as a side so I get whatever the thing is with potatoes! 🤣
Long story short, don’t sweat the sides !

Hit enter too soon, my last line was going to be: if someone doesn’t want the fish simply bc it has the “wrong” side, they can choose a different entree.

I am offering entree options (either/or) to guests, but unfortunately the way my venue prices the meals is that I pay extra $ per person (my entire guest count) to offer an additional side option!

Mashed potatoes go with anything. People eat that with salmon frequently.
