Help with dinner tomorrow?

[Lotech]

Meat is going to be Salmon Filets marinated and sauteed in butter, onion, dill & orange juice.
Starch is going to be Zateraines (sp) New Orleans rice pilaf. With a Parsley garnish.
Veggie is going to be a bed of Swiss Chard with a dollop of Acorn Squash in the middle.
My question is; What kind of seasoning would you use for the Squash on Chard? I'm thinking Cummin or Sage.
What are your thoughts? This dinner needs to be a GOOD one.
Thanks Family,

[Wes]

something that will compliment the squash like fresh basil sauteed in evoo with a little garlic infused into the evoo.

[Lotech]

Wes, Great advice. What do you think of just as touch of Nutmeg, Brown Sugar & Cinnamon? It might overpower the Chard, so what do you think?

[Mike Thomas]

How about Sage leaves fried in butter untill the leaves go crispy and the butter goes nut brown?
All the best.

i'd do nutmeg joe. sort of a whisp of nutmeg.

[Lotech]

Tomorrow will tell. Leaning toward Nutmeg, Cinnamon & Brown Sugar.

Cinnamon was the first thing to come to my mind, but it all sounds good to me. I was also thinking maple syrup for the salmon.

My $.02 is that I wouldn't put the brown sugar or cinnamon into the squash - the salmon already has the sweetness of the orange juice. I like the idea if a pinch of garlic, and the cumin. But then I would take the next step and (since cumin is part of both) use either curry or chili powder with the squash - chili would be more west coast, like the salmon. To me the result would be 'brighter' than nutmeg/cinnamon.
What's for dessert? You don't want to have the same spice in dinner as in dessert do you?

I'm thinking I should help you by taste testing this dinner for you. You know,, just to make sure.

Serve horse radish and Huckleberry jelly on the side with the salmon. It's to die for! Best Regards....
