Baby spinach is wilted in nutty browned butter with garlic and shallots, then brightened with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. This simple, elegant side comes together in minutes but delivers rich, toasty flavor that pairs beautifully with the cedar plank salmon.

Small red potatoes are boiled until tender, then pan-fried in butter until their surfaces turn shatteringly golden, and tossed with fresh parsley, chives, and cracked pepper. These crispy-outside, creamy-inside potatoes are a classic French bistro side that pairs beautifully with the bold espresso rib-eye.

Tuscan kale is massaged in a white balsamic vinaigrette brightened with homemade raspberry syrup, then tossed with radicchio, fresh raspberries, ricotta salata, and pecans. The sweet-tart dressing and bitter greens create an elegant, colorful side that balances the richness of the lasagna.

White rice is toasted before simmering in chicken stock with lime peel, then finished with fresh lime zest, lime juice, cilantro, and green onions for a fragrant, fluffy side. This bright and herby rice is the perfect base for soaking up saucy tinga and spicy black beans.
