Traditional flavors that pair well w/ salmon are dill, cucumber, light fruity wines- and fruit itself.
So a dill hollandaise or a light dill champagne sauce would be lovely.
Or a chilled cuke-dill sauce made w/ half-yogurt/half-sourcream... kind of tzadziki-style as with gyros...
Or my personal favs- just top the salmon w/ a dab of Alfredo Sauce or Mornay and sprinkle a few blackberries on as garnish! OR make a sweet/savory barbecue sauce w/ caramelized onions, store-bought peach preserves and a dash of soy sauce and cayenne.
