Simple Summertime Salmon Recipe courtesy Chef Bruce Wood, Bruce’s Kitchen Salt Spring Island I love the variety of BC salmon.This year the white spring was fatty & great for the BBQ the coho & sockeye are leaner & great for poaching or roasting. I love following the season with these different preparations.

Ingredients 6 0z Wild Sockeye Fillets Fresh Lemon Good Quality Olive Oil Coarse Sea Salt Freshley Milled Pepper Fresh Thyme, Dill or Tarragon

Amount 4 1 1/2 Cup To Taste To Taste 1 tbls

Method 1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. You are going to cook the salmon fast and get a nice colour. 2. Place salmon fillets on a parchment lined baking sheet and rub the salmon with the lemon juice, olive oil and coarse sea salt & black pepper. 2. Roughly chop some fresh herbs, my favourite is fresh thyme. 3.Place the salmon in the preheated oven and roast for 5 minutes. The salmon should be cooked on the outside and translucent on the inside.

aking surprising discoveries in the sand while wandering along the seashore is

a simple delight. You can find that same exploring pleasure strolling along the seaside village of Cowichan Bay during the 6th annual Artwalk. Twenty six local artists display their paintings, sculptures, pottery, and jewelry at an informal outdoor art gallery, unrestricted by gallery walls, between shops and at the edge of the docks. Meander from artist to artist, café to café, shop to shop along the main street of Cowichan Bay, North America’s first Citta Slow (Slow City). Saunter at the pace author Carl Honoré calls tempo giusto, or the right

tempo. Take it easy. Immerse yourself in the art show and character of Cowichan Bay: glittering sea, peaks of Mt. Prevost, friendliness and colour—lots of colour. Painter Michael Dean appreciates the unique Artwalk setting. “I get to talk to people,” he says. “And because it’s so popular, people from Victoria come as well; people who ordinarily wouldn’t see my work.” Both mixed-metal jewelry maker Mimi Roy and painter Bernadette McCormick think

Cowichan Bay is a great little village. “I like the idea of being amongst all the other artists,” says Mimi. Artwalk goes from 10 am. to 5 pm. both days. Take an afternoon, or spend the whole weekend savouring all that Artwalk and Cowichan Bay have to offer. Take the slow route further: park your car at Bench School or Hecate Park and board the free shuttle bus for a leisurely trip to the village and back.
