Atlantic Salmon Salad

Around my house we have bbq with friends every weekend through out the summer and the salmon salad goes quick. With only a couple tags filled each season this tasty treat is enjoyed only several times a year.


#

For this dish you will be needing

    * 1 Atlantic Salmon 10 ounce Boneless and skinless fillet
    * 1/4 cup red pepper
    * 1/4 cup yellow pepper
    * 1/4 cup orange pepper
    * 2 celery stocks chopped
    * 1/4 cup relish sweet
    * 1/4 cup Mayonnaise
    * 1/4 onion; red

  # 


Preparation

poach salmon in about two inches of water with one added teaspoon of vinegar. After a few minuets the salmon will  flake when pulled with a fork remove it from the water and let cool.

Mix all ingredients together. Add more mayo if needed but not too much more, then season with little sea salt and a little pepper.

Chill for 1 hour and serve as side dish for any type of bbq or use for first coarse with toasted french bread topped with butter and a pinch of dill

For those of you living in areas with rainbow trout use it instead of the salmon I did when visiting Canada's west coast and it was great. Healthy and tasty salmon salad is my number one summer dish. Try it and enjoy!

Atlantic Salmon Chowder

In my province of Newfoundland you won't have to travel far to find some of the best chowders on earth. Like shrimp gumbo in the southern United states or pickerel with eggs for breakfast in northern Ontario this type of  chowder is unique to Newfoundland. Although similar to others that can be found elsewhere I feel it taste the best in it's respective home.
