Salmon and Kale Salad with Apples, Dried Cranberries, Hazelnuts, and Fromage Frais

July 31, 2018

Salmon makes dinnertime so easy. Its full flavour means it can stand alone with minimal seasoning, or stand up to just about any assertive ingredients you crave, including kale tossed with an autumnal cider vinaigrette. To help satisfy our hunger for this omega-rich fish without depleting the ocean, the ‘Namgis First Nation of Vancouver, bc, has made tremendous strides in sustainably farming Atlantic salmon. Their landlocked pens at the north end of Vancouver Island ensure the fish never escape into the ocean where they might wreak havoc on wild populations. In the States, farmed steelhead or arctic char offers a similarly sustainable alternative with a comparable flavour and nutritional profile.
