I like wild rice w/salmon too. I have done an Asian flavored salmon and served potstickers with them.

Some other ideas for sides (I do 'boxed' sides usually b/c I just don't have a ton of time to cook these days):
couscous (sp)
stuffing
orzo (I saute w/some onion, then add chicken broth instead of water - 2 parts liquid to one part orzo and just let it absorb instead of boil and drain)
pasta salad
pierogies (frozen section)
roasted potatoes (again, I buy them frozen)
baked acorn squash (I know it is very 'autumn-ish' but it is great and SOOO healthy)
black bean and corn salad (I take can of rinsed black beans, a can of drained corn and pre-made pico from the produce section, mix it all together and voila)
grilled or toasted pita bread
