Dish number 1 is served!
On the menu for today will be an amalgamation of
Kenny's Salmon,
Kenny's Original Recipe and the
Dish and Chips.
Let's take a look at the original picture.
The Breakdown
So the dish in game has 2 ingredients necessary for Ignis to prepare it: 1 Nebula Salmon Fillet and Garlic. The Garlic is easy enough to do because I put that in basically every dish I cook, and I bought some really gorgeous looking Tasmanian salmon fillets to be the star of the dish. Unfortunately it proved too hard to get a cross section fillet of salmon as seen on the picture, my local fish mongers just didn't prepare them like that, so it's just 2 regular fillets of salmon (the plus side is that at least I can crisp up the skin).
So I knew there was Salmon and Garlic, the rest of the dish I had to make up by eye. Luckily this one wasn't too tricky to work out, the salmon is covered in what appears to be some kind of sauce, and the browning on the top would indicate that it's topped with cheese. So it would appear this is just salmon fillet with a cheese sauce. Because I didn't want to just serve salmon I also decided to do the Dish and Chips meal from the game, I don't have a picture of it but it's literally just a plate of skin-on French fries.
((As this is my first post I'm not sure if you guys are interested in the ingredients and method for these dishes, so I'm going to spare you those details for now. But if enough people want to make these meals for themselves just let me know and I can edit it in))

Final Thoughts and Review
This was essentially two things I have cooked often (cheese sauce and salmon) combined into a dish I've never had before, so I was excited to try it and pretty confident it would taste good. It was definitely delicious and the combination worked great, however the biggest thing to note is that this dish is RICH. Those were some pretty big salmon fillets we ate and the addition of that much cheese, cream and butter meant we were both in struggle town trying to finish it off. This is a great way of turning grilled salmon, which I think of as a summer food, into a hearty winter meal. I was also really pleased with how the fries came out. Nothing particularly special about them but they tasted fantastic and were good for dipping into any of the excess sauce.
Taste: I give this dish an 8 out of 10. It's nice seafood, it's cream, there's cheese, there's garlic and fries; you can't go wrong. Your heart and bowels may not love you but you'll enjoy it while it's going down at least.
Difficulty: Moderate. At the height of the action you'll have three hot plates on the go and your sauce will require consistent stirring, but everything cooks easily and aside from turning the salmon over and making sure the fries cook evenly there's not much to it. There's also minimal prep work aside from chopping potatoes and grating some cheese.
