Simple nutritional meals

I’ve been trying to find some good recipes for just “that food” that I can give her every other day as a treat that will still be good for her. I find that the ones online are mostly either very basic like chicken rice and carrots- which doesn’t sound too nutritious to me,or too complicated with tons of things that I cannot get locally

I’ve recently bought frozen Atlantic salmon chunks (heard Pacific salmon was bad?) and was thinking what could I give them to her with... cook the salmon and mix it with like rice and cooked carrots and egg? That doesn’t seem too nutrition packed either though does it I like using carrots because I can peel and cut them into the desired size and freeze them until needed, just makes things faster so I am generally looking for ideas for things I can freeze and have on the ready to just quickly cook

I’m not quite sure I understand these meals. Do they substitute a kibble meal or are they extras ?
I guess that if you want balanced, the price to pay will be a more elaborate ingredient list. I was going to say that there are lots of recipes online and quite a few books but you’ve apparently already had a look.

Depending on what you want to achieve, you might have more luck at looking into “kibble additives” rather than a complete home made meal ?

By all means add a couple of bits to make her food more interesting, but I wouldn't swap & change a kibble & a home cooked diet.

If you want to home cook, have a look at a couple of fb pages to see what's needed - believe me, it isn't easy!

Here's one, but there are others...

As above, I wouldn't recommend changing a kibble to random home cooked meals. The diet needs to be consistent, by all means add goodness to the kibble to make it more interesting but don't remove it from meal times.

Just by adding little bits to their kibble is exciting for a pooch. Try any veg like broccoli, green beans, cauliflower etc (avoid the sprouts!), try Sardine Sunday (in oil or spring water, they're high in salt so not too often), beef or chicken stock... the options are endless.
