Salmon and Veggie recipes needed.

So i've decided that I need to eat more healthy and since salmon seem to be packed to the gills with a bunch of good stuff I'm going to try and make that tonight. Only thing is that I haven't tried it before so I'm not quite sure how to get it right so I'm asking for ideas.
The plan is to have it with some wild rice and some veggies (which I'm also looking for pairing recommendations).
For the salmon I'm thinking of hitting it with some olive oil, sea salt, black pepper, a little chili powder and some lime.
As for the veggies, I was just thinking some green beans with slivered almonds. I wouldn't mind getting a little more complex, but don't want to go into anything that I can't make inside of 30-40 minutes for everything.
I'd like to make it a more frequent addition to my diet (fish in general) so if you've got any recipes that are to die for I'd love to hear 'em.

Pre-heat oven to broil setting.
Line the bottom of a broiling pan with aluminum foil and spray the cooking surface with a non-stick cooking oil.
Broil for 12-14 minutes. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Done. Delicious and easy clean up.
Eat up. I promise it will be delicious.
But for those times, as somebody else said, salmon needs very little to be very good. Just grilling it will get you really good results and you can put some salad on the side.
OR you coul put the salmon IN the salad.
Get yourself some fresh cheese, the kind you'd use as a dessert with some strawberry jam or some other sweet sauce. Cut that in little blocks (or buy the ones already cut up for saldad use), cut some fresh smoked salmon in think stripes and add some vegetables. Lettuce will do, but ruccula and other alternatives fit better. You could also add some onion, a little tomato (not too much, though) and spice it up with some fresh herbs, like basil and... oregano? is that right in English? Anyway, top it with some olive oil, a pinch of salt and a little vinegar and you're set.
It'll do nicely for a freash apetizer in hot summer days.
You could also toast some bread and make a version of this by lying out a think slice of salmon and a thin slice of cheese, maybe add cherry tomato cut in half on top.
Get some rice flour from the supermarket. Mochiko is a brand that is in almost every supermarket around here. Make a batter with about a quarter to half a cup of flour, and nearly equal parts water. Season salmon with salt, pepper, and spices (I like Tony Chachere's and a bit of oregano and basil). Dredge the fish in the batter and fry in skillet with olive oil. Sear the skin-side down, first, for about 4 minutes, flip and sear the other side for about 3-4 minutes. You'll have a crispy, juicy salmon that is awesome. If you want to go the extra mile, you can make the following:
Herb Caper dressing
Use one small jar of capers, fresh herbs (oregano, basil, rosemary, and parsley), half a cup to a cup of olive oil, 2 table spoons of lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste. Chop the herbs and then mix everything in a bowl. Serve over the crispy salmon you just made.
I'm also a big fan of seared salmon. Rub the salmon with a bit of olive oil, season, and then drop it into a very hot skillet. Sear for 45 seconds on each side. This results in a medium-rare piece of salmon. I would cook this more, but my wife doesn't like raw-ish fish. Goes great with grilled veggies like zuccini, peppers, corn, etc.
Seconded, except forget the tinfoil, grill it on a cedar plank
4 salmon fillets, 5 to 6 oz each
1/2 large orange, zest and juice only
1/2 large lemon -- juice only
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 large garlic clove -- minced
2 tablespoons butter -- melted
Directions
In a shallow dish large enough to hold the salmon, combine the juices salt and pepper. Add the salmon, turning to coat with the marinade. Let marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes, turning the fillets once.Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Line a shallow baking pan with aluminum foil and grease with a little of the melted butter.In a small dish, combine the orange zest, brown sugar, chili powder and minced garlic. Rub the marinated salmon with the brown sugar mixture. Place in the pan and drizzle with the remaining melted butter.Bake for 8 to 12 minutes. Cool and serve baked salmon.
switch serving sizes if it's just you
also, someone here had a fantastic recipe that involved pasta and salmon in another thread. I made it that night, but lost it
If anyone has that recipe I would love to have it again!
Get water. Add a fair amount of salt (although not too much).
Put onions in water.
Boil.
When boiling, add:
Potatoes
Salmon steaks.
When done, get rid of the onions and eat the rest.
That's how I do it, because I like salmon. Add salt and pepper to taste.
