Canadian MEAL

TO CELEBRATE CANADA I50 anada's 150th birthday is a time to celebrate all things Canadian. Being Canadian brings on thoughts of salmon swimming upstream to spawn, peameal bacon sizzling in a pan, beavertails on Ottawa's Rideau Canal, and tapping maple trees for fresh syrup when the cold winter starts to break.

Sifto is celebrating its 150th anniversary along with Canada's milestone birthday. Sifto commissioned leading Canadian gastro chef Mike Shedden to create a perfect Canadian dish of salt-cured maple Canadian Atlantic salmon. This dish is best served cold on top of a dill crème fraîche with fried capers on French bread.

SESQUICENTENNIAL

SALT CURED

MAPLE SALMON SERVES: 25 1-oz slices

INGREDIENTS • 1 kg Atlantic Salmon, skin on • 1 kg Sifto Table Salt • 1/2 kg Granulated Sugar • 2 Oranges, zested • 250 g Cracked and roasted Black Pepper • 1/4 cup Smoked Paprika • 3/4 cup Real Maple Syrup

DIRECTIONS • Mix all dry ingredients together in a mixing bowl until completely combined. • Coat salmon in cure, and reserve 40% of mixture. • Lay salmon skin side down on a baking sheet with half of remaining cure underneath. • Mix in maple syrup to remaining cure and coat exposed salmon in wet cure. • Wrap tightly in cellophane and leave in refrigerator for three days.

BE ST SE RV E D on French bread with dill crème fraîche and fried capers.

• Flip salmon once every 24 hours for best results. • Once salmon is cured, rinse cure off well and slice salmon thinly and on a slight bias. THN www.newscanada.com

ising temperatures and shining sun mean it's time to get outside. Whether you will be curling up with a book on your lounge chair or entertaining friends and family poolside, there are four key style trends that you will want to incorporate to help create your own outdoor oasis.

Here CINDY JARDIM, style and trends director for Lowe's, shares her tips for achieving these looks.

CU BAN COO L This festive, fun and vibrant transitional trend evokes images of lush island life and memories of tropical locales, letting your vacation come to you. Embrace woven wicker furnishings and warm copper with lively splashes of island greens, surf blues, fiery reds, and tropical citrus tints. Consider keeping your lemonade cool with a palm tree ice cube or two.

SHOPPING

All-Season

FOR AN

As seen on Cottage Life TV

WHAT TO KNOW WHEN

ouldn't it be great if you didn't have to wait for cottage season and could spend all winter on your dock? A four-season cottage is ideal because it is accessible yearlong.

“It is no surprise that a growing number of cottage-goers are looking to enjoy these benefits yearround by converting their summer homes into all-season properties or purchasing fourseason cottages,” explains ETTORE CARDARELLI, President of the Ontario Real Estate Association.

If you're shopping for an all-season cottage this year, ask your Realtor about the following:

ROAD ACCE SS OF COTTAGE OWNERS IN ONTARIO WHO PURCHASE A SUMMER HOME END UP CONVERTING IT TO YEARROUND SPACE, ACCORDING TO RESEARCH CONDUCTED BY OREA AND COTTAGE LIFE MAGAZINE

Depending on where the cottage is located, road access might be limited during the winter months. On private roads, maintenance and snow removal are the responsibility of cottage owners.

WATE R AN D WA STE Many summer cottages' waste and water systems are not equipped to function year-round. You will likely need to winterize your septic tank and sewage system. >>>

outdoor living

H E ATI N G AN D I N S U L ATIO N A winterized property should have proper insulation and ventilation, a reliable heating source, and energy-efficient windows.

ZO N I N G Familiarize yourself with local zoning rules and building codes. There may be restrictions on when you can live there or do renovations. Make sure to get the necessary permits before you start any makeovers.

AM E N ITI E S Inquire about local supermarkets, shops, recreation centres and hospitals. Being close to these amenities, especially if they are open yearlong, will give you peace of mind if you plan on spending the colder months at the cottage. As seen on HuffingtonPost.ca
