Honestly, this is easily one of my new favourite salmon recipes, and I'm over the moon about how quickly and easily it can be put together. The salmon, sesame, and sauce all partner beautifully, with a fantastic East-West fusion flavour that pairs wonderfully with simple sides and vegetables. It's great topped with crispy fried shallots (which you can either make ahead of time or buy as-is), but that's an optional element. I focused on big flavours and a simple-but-memorable combination of salty and sweet, yielding a dish that's equally at home on a campsite, in a weeknight meal-prep plan, or at a fancy dinner. And while those are valuable concepts to focus on, I also wanted to put together a meal that I 'd be proud to serve in any setting and to anyone. Camping forces you to focus on your preparation and a minimal tool-set after all. When I started tossing recipe ideas around, I had to figure out how best to balance flavour and simplicity. So when BC Wild Salmon asked me to put together a great camping-friendly salmon recipe I dove in with gusto. ![]() Now that I'm older and (arguably) wiser, I've come to value of good food to a great camping experience. I guess when the alternative is being pummeled by the elements, the reclined front-seat of a Chevy feels surprisingly posh.īut what about the food? Well most of my camping experiences were pre-Diversivore, and I'll be entirely honest with you - I didn't pay a whole lot of attention to my food. Actually come to think of it, all three of those experiences led to me sleeping in a car - something I have surprisingly positive feelings about. Wind so ferocious that my tent was bent down to about 6 inches above my face. Arriving at an isolated campground late and getting locked out. A deflated air mattress and flooded tent at three in the morning. But I've also had my fair share of not-so-photogenic camping moments. I've enjoyed some great experiences in the past - waking up in sunny prairie coulees, watching Golden Eagles crest over the cliffs in northern Peace Country, listening to the (thankfully) distant howls of prairie coyotes - some pretty spectacular stuff really. But I've always had a hit-and-miss relationship with camping. Basically the people you see in an SUV commercial. The people who can haul themselves out into nature and just live that effortless-looking wilderness-glamorous lifestyle. You know who I've always envied? Those effortless campers. ![]()
