Chef Ana's Perspective ## Chef's Notes For this week's menu, I would pair Cilantro Lime Salmon Fillets with Wild Rice Pilaf with Dried Cherries, Pecans and Herbs. The cherries and pecans give the rice a different bite alongside the salmon. For another meal, I'd put Crispy Baked Chicken Kiev Balls with Marinara Dip beside Lemon Garlic Broccoli, keeping the crumb coating and green florets distinct on the plate. **Read the full notes** I recommend reheating Crispy Baked Chicken Kiev Balls with Marinara Dip uncovered at 350°F for about 15–20 minutes, checking that the centers are hot. Warm the marinara separately and add it when serving so the crumbs stay crisp. For Cilantro Lime Salmon Fillets, use a covered oven-safe dish at 325°F, start checking after 10 minutes, and heat refrigerated leftovers until they are heated through. I included both Low Carb Zucchini & Yellow Squash Gratin and Parmesan Roasted Acorn Squash because they bring different textures to the vegetable selection. The gratin has thin rounds under a joined layer of browned cheese, while the acorn squash keeps its curved slices and dark skins. Garlic Butter Cauliflower Steaks add larger browned pieces, so the vegetable choices offer more than a change of color.
