/ck/ - Food & Cooking

Trying to prepare lunches for work and I figure I should start with what protein I should center the meals on before I start grocery shopping. Ideally the proteins are affordable and easy to prepare. Currently I have:

>Salmon (Not sure which one)
>Chicken Thighs (more foolproof than chicken breast)
>Ground Beef
>Eggs
>Canned Tuna (mercury poisoning go brrt)
>Deli Meats (Probably the least healthiest but easily prepped)

Any other suggestions? After this will probably try to create or look for recipes around the deli-meat, ideally with only 3-5 ingredients at most. It'll be paired with rice or bread for my carbs.

New York(because single states in the US are the same size as entire countries in the EU)
so
>NY, usa
>Salmon

A friend of mine just claimed that not only is Steamed Salmon a thing, but that it is a COMMON thing.

I would like confirmation on this and if it happens to be a thing, why would you steam Salmon instead of the other way of preparing it.
