We kicked things off with a tomato, mozzarella and sweet onion salad. The onions were from a farm which has a special place in my farmer's market heart; they were very fair to me when a battle ensued over the last dozen eggs. The tomatoes and basil Rob picked up while I was standing in line for the eggs.
This was followed with wild salmon, seasoned with a little salt, seared just the way we like it, and Pemberton potatoes, first of the season tossed with a little cream and tarragon.
The meal was capped off with a trio of local berries and cream.

Nice chiffonade skillz!
That all looks wonderful!!
By the way--did you ever get The Zuni Cafe Cookbook? I got it this weekend and it's terrific. It's the kind of cookbook that's a delight to read. And that Zuni Cafe roast chicken and bread salad! AHHHHHHH, I gotta make it.
do you have any leftovers? i take them :D
Hi Linda, it all looks amazing! The simplest things are so often the best, especially when the ingredients are good. We hadn't thought through the eating local aspect of eating Canadian previously (we got a little caught up in sorting out what exactly qualifies as Canadian)- thanks for giving us a fresh perspective.
Cheers.
Lea, thanks for the comment. I don't think this is my final post on Canadian food..
Dani, no leftovers ;p
Sher, I don't have Zuni yet; still coveting it...
Jeff, the skillz are Rob's in this particular photo!
