Broccoli is a solid choice as is spinach or kale or green beans. You can serve a salad with salmon -- something simple (a green salad) or complex. You can serve fresh corn on the cob.
You can do a lot of things. As a general rule, if you're adding lemon to the salmon, you can pair it with any vegetable you'd add lemon to. And, of course, a baked potato always goes with fish.
Here's one recipe you can pair with salmon:
Garlicky Roasted Broccoli
Serves4
Ingredients
•1 pound
broccoli
•1/4 cup
olive oil
•1 tablespoon
rice vinegar
•6 cloves
garlic, peeled
•1 teaspoon
salt
•
Red pepper flakes, optional
•
Lemon wedges, to garnish
Instructions
1.
Arrange a rack in the middle of the oven and heat to 450°F. Cut the broccoli into bite-sized florets. Cut the stems into diagonal bite-sized pieces. (Peel the broccoli stems first if you want to; I don't bother.) Place in a large bowl.
2.
Place the olive oil, rice vinegar, garlic, and salt in a small food processor and process until thick and creamy. (Alternatively, smash the garlic in a mortar and pestle and whisk in a bowl with the other dressing ingredients.) If desired, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
3.
Add the dressing to the broccoli and toss to coat. Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet and spread in an even layer.
4.
Roast until the broccoli is tender and the edges are singed, 12 to 15 minutes. If you desire an extra measure of smokiness, switch the oven to broil, and move the baking sheet up to the highest rack. Broil for 1 to 2 minutes. Serve hot or cold with wedges of lemon.
You can also always do a slaw. But there's a dish I like in place of slaw.
Saucy Chili-Garlic Cucumber Noodles
Serves3 to 4 as a side dish
Prep time:5 minutes
Ingredients
•2 tablespoons
rice vinegar
•1 tablespoon
toasted (Asian) sesame oil
•2 teaspoons
tamari or soy sauce
•2 teaspoons
Asian chili-garlic sauce or sambal oelek
•1 teaspoon
grated peeled fresh ginger
•1/4 teaspoon
kosher salt
•1 1/2 pounds
English cucumbers (2 medium)
•2 teaspoons
toasted sesame seeds
Instructions
1.
Place the vinegar, sesame oil, tamari or soy sauce, chili-garlic sauce, ginger, and salt in a large bowl and whisk to combine.
2.
Trim the ends from the cucumbers, then cut in half crosswise. Using a spiralizer with the thinnest "noodle" attachment, spiralize the cucumber into long, thin strands. Use kitchen shears to cut the cucumber noodles in half, if desired.
3.
Add the noodles to the bowl with the dressing and gently toss to coat. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Spiralizer alternative: If you don't have a spiralizer, use a julienne or vegetable peeler to prep the cucumber instead.
Storage: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Drain off any accumulated liquid before serving.
Now for the autoworkers, Shannen Jones (WSWS) reports:
French carmaker PSA Group, owner of Peugeot, and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles (FCA) have agreed to a multi-billion-dollar merger that will create the world’s fourth largest car company, behind Volkswagen, Renault-Nissan and Toyota. The new company will have combined sales and assets ahead of US carmakers Ford and General Motors.
The merged company would be based in the Netherlands, but it will keep a headquarters outside of Detroit for its North American operations. The new company would have a global workforce of around 410,000, sales of 8.7 million vehicles and revenue of some $190 billion. PSA and FCA would each own 50 percent of the combined operation.
Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares would be CEO of the merged company, while US-born John Elkann, a scion of the family that founded Fiat, would be chairman.
The merger is part of an ongoing consolidation in the global auto industry, a sector that is under enormous pressure from financial markets for higher rates of return under conditions of trade war and mounting recessionary pressures. In addition, automakers face the enormous costs of research and development of electric and autonomous vehicles. Both companies have lagged in development of electric vehicles, with electric vehicles accounting for less than 0.3 percent of Peugeot’s overall sales, forcing it to buy “credits” from Tesla to comply with European Union emission standards. PSA does not have a presence in the US market and neither FCA nor Peugeot have a strong presence in China, the world’s largest auto market.

The reactionary nationalist program of the unions is incapable of defending the jobs and conditions of workers. Hostile to the international unity of the working class, the unions act as cheap labor contractors, offering to hold down wages and speed up production in the name of making “their” companies competitive with foreign rivals.
The most burning issue facing autoworkers is the unification of the international working class to fight these attacks. This requires the building of new organizations, rank and file factory and workplace committees. To ensure a job for every worker and a decent standard of living this fight must be based on a socialist program to replace the anarchy of the capitalist system with the rational organization of economic life throughout the world based on production for human need, not profit. This must include placing the global auto industry under the democratic public ownership and control of the working class.
This is C.I.'s "Iraq snapshot" for Monday:
Monday, November 4, 2019. War Hawk Joe Biden continues to struggle,
protests continue in Iraq and where is journalist Saba Almahdawi?
Let's note this at the top.
Let's note this at the top.
She is my colleague, @SabaAlmahdawi was kidnapped yesterday after she left Tahrir Square in #Baghdad while on her way home, she just volunteer to aid the wounded demonstrators
WHERE IS SHE?
@IraqiGovt
@yassenalyasiri
@NajahAlshammare
@iraqicts
Where is she? And is this like when Nouri al-Maliki was prime minister, how, in his second term, he began kidnapping and targeting reporters?
We should all be asking where Saba Almahdawy is. Hahdi al-Mahdi was murdered and many of us believe that was on Nouri's orders. We should all be asking, right now, while it matters, were is Saba Almahdawy.
Moving to the US where the race for the Democratic Party's presidential nomination continues. The race continues but with one less candidate.
More of a media creation than an actual sensation, Beto ran because . . . If he had been able to articulate it, he'd still be in the race.
The media cheered him on . . . until he started talking about the wars. Then they went after him -- starting with the 'fact check' provided by THE WASHINGTON POST. They repeatedly undermined him.
After the national support he got from the press when he ran for the Senate, it must have been confusing for him to see the same press turn on him.
War Hawk Joe Biden hasn't dropped out. However, his campaign is still reeling from Friday's revelation that he's polling fourth in Iowa. Fourth.
Alexander Burns (NEW YORK TIMES) reported:
Ms. Warren appears to have solidified her gains in the first voting state while Mr. Buttigieg has climbed quickly to catch up with Mr. Sanders and overtake Mr. Biden, the onetime front-runner. Ms. Warren is drawing support from 22 percent of likely caucusgoers, while Mr. Sanders is at 19 percent, followed by Mr. Buttigieg at 18 percent and Mr. Biden at 17 percent.
The survey is full of alarming signs for Mr. Biden, who entered the race in April at the top of the polls in Iowa and nationally. He is still in the lead in most national polls, but his comparatively weak position in the earliest primary and caucus states now presents a serious threat to his candidacy. And Mr. Biden’s unsteadiness appears to have opened a path in the race for other Democrats closer to the political middle, particularly Mr. Buttigieg.
Natasha Korecki (POLITICO) adds:
Biden’s
campaign, meanwhile, has been forced to scale down expectations of his
performance here. He has already seen Warren overtake him in the polls
and is also battling the grassroots energy behind Sanders.
“You
might expect that a frontrunner is going to lose some ground as other
candidates become more visible,” said Selzer. “It’s not just that
there’s not enough numbers to go around. It’s that he’s not wearing
well. It’s the trend, it’s the decline.”
Poor Joe. Turns out "more of the same" is not a rallying cry in an election.
If Biden comes in fourth in Iowa, it's very hard for him to come in first in South Carolina. The argument for Joe is that he's electable. Joe's campaign has been preparing the press for the likely reality that he loses Iowa and then New Hampshire. They're trying to say that doesn't matter because he will win South Carolina. Not likely if he loses Iowa and New Hampshire. The two early losses would force many voters in South Carolina to reconsider the claim that Joe is most electable. That's what's driven and sad and pathetic campaign. It's protected him from his problematic behavior with women, it's protected him from his estranged relationship with the truth. If he loses Iowa and New Hampshire, he's just another failed candidate.
Kyle Balluck (THE HILL) mangles a new poll:
Front-runner Joe Biden’s support held steady in a new poll of the 2020 Democratic presidential race that saw Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg make gains.
The poll from ABC News and The Washington Post released early Sunday found Biden with 27 percent support from Democrats and independents who lean toward the party, unchanged from a similar survey in early September.
Warren, however, gained 4 percentage points, climbing from 17 percent to 21 percent. The results mark a new high in the poll for the senator, ABC News noted.
Buttigieg, who is now at 7 percent, added 3 points since early September.
According to the survey, support for Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) was also constant, holding at 19 percent.
So the actual news would be that Elizabeth Warren and Pete Buttigieg increased their numbers, while Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders -- and Bernie Sanders -- remained steady.
Three new national polls: Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders lead Democrats cnn.it/329VdAg
See, even in the headline, CNN gets it accurate while THE HILL tries to treat Pete's distant fourth place as the equivalent of Sanders, Warren and Biden -- all of whom have double digits while Pete remains in the single digits.
This as Joe's gaffes just continue to multiply.
Joe Biden might be the first president primary candidate to s**t his pants on stage.
Many are disputing Collin's claim. Many who were present. But if that's what went out on TV, yes, Joe looks ridiculous. When there was the big mistake at the Academy Awards, I was very clear on what I saw from my seat and very clear that it might have looked different on TV -- I don't know where the cameras were. For those of us present, we saw Warren immediately attempt to call a pause and correct what he rightly saw as an error. Those watching at home may have seen something different due to where the camera focused.
In Iraq, the protests continue.
