I'm a little late as usual, but I usually like greens, like pea shoots or broccolini, sautéed with garlic and oil, seasoned with salt and pepper.

How about an Israeli couscous salad? You could dress it with an arugula pistou or simply a little olive oil and lemon juice, and add whatever veg you like to it. (P.S. Cook the couscous in stock and it will be even more flavorful.)

PS If none of the ideas suggested so far appeal to you, see Katie Macdonald article here from June 2019 with about 4 dozen suggestions of sides for salmon.

Roasted cauliflower with warm spices (ground cumin, Middle-Eastern, or Indian spice blend.

Turmeric is a good spice to use with cauliflower, also.

Coleslaw made from celery root with apples in it.

Hi Marina! Since it sounds like the salmon has a sweet sauce/seasoning, I'd opt for something tangy or spicy. Here are a few side dishes that come to mind:
