One package of Nova Salmon Pieces
Steps:
1. Toast the bread to your liking

Cilantro Creamed Cucumbers (Vegetarian)
There's nothing, I feel, like making a dish with ingredients you've grown yourself. The taste and fragrance of home-grown herbs, for instance, is incomparable. I have yet to try my green thumbs at cucumbers, but with a lovely specimen bought at the market and a bunch of garden herbs, these refreshing Cilantro Creamed Cucumbers make a light and flavourful Summer-y lunch. Happy Wednesday!
Ingredients (serves 2):
1 large cucumber
1 1/2 teaspoons coarse sea salt
1 Green Onion
a small bunch fresh Garden Cilantro
2 heaped tablespoon crème fraîche or sour cream
¾ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 1/2 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon olive oil
Rise cucumber, and cut it into slices. Place cucumbers slices in a colander. Sprinkle generously with coarse sea salt, toss to combine, and place colander over a large bowl. Set aside, half an hour, to let the water come out of the cucumber slices.
Thinly slice Green Onion.
Finely chop Garden Cilantro, and add Cilantro and Green Onion, saving a little of its green part, to serving bowl. Add crème fraîche, black pepper, red wine vinegar and olive oil, and give a good stir until well-combined. Set aside.
Discard cucumber water, and stir cucumbers slices into the cream and herb sauce to coat them generously. Chill in the refrigerator, at least a couple of hours.
Serve Cilantro Creamed Cucumbers well-chilled, sprinkled with reserved green part of the Green Onion.

this is probably the most trivial gourmet meal ever
slice some chicken breasts in half so they're thin
brown a bunch of butter in a skillet
toss the chicken in the butter and grind some pepper all over it; flip and repeat
cover with a spatter shield and cook on high until nicely browned on both sides
fyi you can stop here the chicken like this tastes great and goes with just about anything from rice to pasta to various veggies etc just make sure it's done throughout
but anyways back to our program
dump a bunch of mushroom powder (i use Pistol River for the last idk 8 years, there's probably others but that's locally available here) all over
and pour some cream in
simmer a while and then serve
i usually make a rice pilaf (⅛ wild rice, precooked instant pot 6min, then ⅓c cracked wheat + ⅔c brown rice + ½t each garlic and onion powders + 2T butter, 1½c water, 12 more minutes in the instant pot on high) for it
here also garden fresh cucumber/tomato/basil salad with Bulgarian feta and red beer (½c tomato juice that ran from cut tomatoes, 1t wooster(sans jeeves) sauce, ¼t Dave's triple insanity sauce, 1t tapatio, 1t feta water, 1+c local blonde beer)
