Warm weather, good company, and a delicious spread of wild, sustainably harvested seafood. What could be greater?!
As our local, independent fishing families take to the fishing grounds for salmon season, we wanted to share five easy summer salmon recipes that will be on repeat in our household this season. From grilled fillets to flavour-packed salads, we know you’ll love these recipes just as much as we do.
1. Cedar Plank Salmon with Maple Syrup Whiskey Glaze
It doesn't get more Canadian than this cedar plank salmon recipe from Skipper Otto member and friend Steve W.!
Featuring a sweet and smoky maple whiskey glaze that perfectly complements the distinct flavour of the salmon, this recipe is big on flavour and low on effort. We opted for our wild sockeye salmon fillets on this occasion, but the recipe also works well with any of our Pacific-caught salmon species, including chinook, chum, coho, and pink salmon.
Enjoy these spectacular maple whiskey-glazed fillets alongside your favourite side dishes. We chose creamy potato salad and grilled corn on the cob!

Salmon and berries may not be the first summer flavour combination to come to mind, but trust us when we say this pairing is absolutely heavenly.
This fresh and vibrant recipe from our friend Chef Ned Bell begins with a full side of grilled salmon. Barbecued until tender and delicate, the cooked salmon fillet is then topped with local raspberries, strawberries, fresh mint, and sweet and sour pickled red onions. It makes for the perfect centrepiece at your next summer dinner party, and best of all, it comes together in under 20 minutes.
