Salmon Dinner is a grilled Salmon served with Amaranth and Kale. Gus, who runs the Stardrop Saloon, mails the recipe at just three hearts of friendship. Two of the ingredients belong to Fall, while the Kale comes from Spring, so one vegetable has to be saved ahead. The dinner sells for less than its ingredients and restores only a moderate amount of energy. It earns its place as a gift: Alex loves it, and even Willy, who turns down most cooked food, likes it. Emily hates it, though.
The in-game description reads: The lemon spritz makes it special.
Recipe
Gus sends the Salmon Dinner recipe by mail after the farmer reaches three hearts of friendship with him.
Cooking a Salmon with Amaranth and Kale makes Salmon Dinner.
The Salmon is a Fall fish. It bites in the river in Pelican Town and in Cindersap Forest, from morning until early evening, in any weather.
Amaranth is a Fall crop. Pierre's General Store sells the seeds in Fall, and the plant ripens in about a week. It is harvested with a Scythe.
Kale is a Spring crop. Pierre sells Kale Seeds in Spring, and Kale is also cut with a Scythe. Kale only grows outdoors in Spring, so a few heads kept from the Spring harvest are needed to cook the dinner when the Salmon and Amaranth arrive.
These are the ingredients one batch needs.

Effects
Salmon Dinner restores a moderate amount of energy and health. For three ingredients from two seasons, it is not a strong meal. A Salmon eaten raw gives only a small part of that, though, so the dinner still beats eating the fish.
Prices
Salmon Dinner sells for less than its three ingredients would fetch raw. Selling the fish and the two vegetables raw earns a little more than the finished plate. Cooking it for sale loses money. Its value lies almost entirely in gifting.
Gifts
Alex loves Salmon Dinner. A loved gift gives almost twice the friendship of a liked one. His birthday falls in Summer, when a gift counts eight times over. Salmon and Amaranth are Fall goods, so a dinner cooked the Fall before can be kept for that day.
Abigail, Caroline, Clint, Demetrius, the Dwarf, Elliott, Evelyn, George, Gus, Haley, Harvey, Jas, Jodi, Kent, Leah, Lewis, Linus, Marnie, Maru, Pam, Penny, Pierre, Robin, Sam, Sandy, Sebastian, Shane, Vincent, Willy and the Wizard like it.
Willy stands out on that list. The fisherman dislikes most cooked dishes, but a plate built around a fish suits him.
Krobus and Leo dislike it. Emily hates Salmon Dinner, so it should never go to her.
These villagers love receiving Salmon Dinner as a gift.

Notes
Salmon Dinner can also be found without cooking. The Stardrop Saloon sometimes has it in its rotating stock, and Krobus may stock it on Saturdays. The Garbage Can outside the Saloon and Mystery Boxes can hold one as well.
In tailoring, Salmon Dinner in the Sewing Machine makes a Shirt. It also fills the red dye pot at Emily and Haley's house.
