Most anything, home made, not from a box or frozen, just do a good job. People are not used to well prepared home cooked food.
However, these always work well:
Sous vide salmon, pan seared, with asparagus and hollandaise. If you can’t sous vide, a good pan sear is still amazing.
Beef Bourguignon.
Shrimp Étouffée, rice, and corn bread.
Pan seared, oven finished steak or loin of some sort. Pork loin works well. Home made skin-on mashed potato and pan roasted bacon parmesan brussels sprouts.
All of these are relatively easy to make, and if done well, go over fantastic.
Want to really wow them? Bake a cheesecake for dessert, especially with a fruit topping.
