Wild BC Salmon is appearing on summer menus across British Columbia as restaurants prepare for a strong Fraser River sockeye return and the arrival of freshly harvested local salmon. The seasonal dishes range from simple grilled fillets to preparations influenced by Italian, Indian and West Coast cooking.
The participating restaurants source their salmon through Organic Ocean, a Richmond-based seafood company that supplies sustainably harvested seafood to restaurants and retailers. Each kitchen has developed a distinct interpretation of Wild BC Salmon using regional produce, sauces, herbs and cooking techniques.
