Prize winner!





This is a $400. salmon! Harv went fishing a few weeks ago in the ocean at Bella Bella and brought home this salmon as well as 5 0r 6 more. It weighed in at 26 lb. and netted Harv the prize for both the biggest fish caught as well as the largest salmon caught. We have had a couple of BBQ's in the past week and still have lots of salmon in the freezer. My favourite recipe for salmon came from my sister-in-law and can be done in the oven or on the BBQ.

Maple Dijon Salmon
3 Tbsp. Maple Syrup
3 Tbsp. Dijon mustard
1/2 cup shelled and chopped pistachios
Salmon fillet

Place salmon, skin side down on parchment paper or foil (spray foil with oil). Mix Maple syrup and Dijon Mustard together and spread over salmon fillet. Sprinkle with pistachios and bake in oven at 350 degrees or on BBQ until fish is done. It should flake easily with a fork but not be too dry. Depending on the thickness of the fish, this will take about 20 minutes. Lift the salmon off of the skin and place on serving plate.

These are a couple of the wonderful pictures Harv took while fishing.
















What a beautiful world we live in!
