Mint and black pepper over citrus.
Peppery and green at once. Dill is the obvious bridge — salmon, cucumber, yogurt — and all of that is cold food, which suits a terpene this light.

These are the lightest compounds in the plant and they leave first. Decarbing costs you most of them before the fat is even involved — the coolest step on the schedule is 200 °F, and that is already well past where they start moving. If this is the aroma you want, it has to come back into the dish from somewhere else: fresh zest, fresh herbs, a spirit, stirred in off the heat.
The same compound is in dill, mint, water fennel and ginger grass — which is the short version of why these pairings work. You are not matching a flavor to the cannabis, you are adding more of something the flower already tastes of.
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.

From StrainTrackr. Each of these breeders named phellandrene on their own product page — a claim about their cultivar, not a lab result. Most strains have no terpenes published at all, so this is a sample of what is documented rather than a ranking of what is strongest.
