Herb butter salmon
Roasted salmon finished with a compound butter that melts over the top. The butter never sees the oven, which makes this one of the most potency-efficient ways to dose a dinner.

Roast until the thickest part is just opaque and flakes under gentle pressure. Pull it a minute early rather than a minute late.

Put one portion of the herb butter on each hot fillet and let it melt. Serve immediately with lemon.

Spoon any butter left on the plate back over the fish. It is the whole dose — leaving it behind is leaving the point behind.

Every recipe here names the conventional ratio underneath it. The cannabis part is a fat substitution, not new chemistry — so if the base is sound and the substitution is sound, the recipe is sound.

Before you eat it
- These are estimates, not lab results. Treat the low end as the honest number and the high end as the thing to plan around.
- Start with one serving and wait two hours. Edibles take 30 to 120 minutes to come on, and the most common mistake is redosing before the first one lands.
- Test a small piece first. Potency is rarely even across a batch, especially if the infusion was not mixed thoroughly.
- Label anything you store with the date and the estimated dose, and keep it away from children, pets and anyone who did not ask for it.
- If you overdo it: you are not in danger, but it will be unpleasant. Find somewhere quiet, drink water, and wait it out. Do not drive.

Garlic herb butter pasta
A ten-minute emulsified butter sauce built in the pan with pasta water. Dinner that happens to be dosed, rather than a dessert pretending to be dinner.

Shakshuka
Eggs poached in a spiced tomato sauce. The infused oil is stirred in off the heat at the end rather than used to build the sofrito, which is the difference between keeping your dose and simmering it away.

Mushroom risotto
The butter goes in at the end, off the heat, beaten hard into the rice. That final step is a technique risotto has always used, and it happens to be ideal for an infusion.
