Prince Edward Island Fish Cakes

Prince William and Kate Middleton are spending a rainy day on Prince Edward Island today, the only destination in Atlantic Canada on their Canadian tour. They have a packed schedule, including a picnic and an over water maneuver aboard a Sea King search-and-rescue helicopter . I’m curious what they’ll be fed for dinner.

Anytime I think of PEI I think of my friend, food superstar and Prince Edward Island native Chef Michael Smith. Undoubtedly one of Canada’s most well known and well loved ambassadors of Canadian cuisine, he is recognized not only for his height (he’s 6‘7”) but for his warm presence on The Inn Chef is perhaps the most popular. The fact that the show allows its audience a peek into Michael’s home kitchen in PEI and lets us pull up a chair at the dinner table with his family, is no doubt a contributing factor to its enormous popularity. While Michael shines in restaurant kitchens around the globe, he’s obviously happiest at home, cooking for and with family and friends.

1-2 Tbsp. (15-30 mL) butter

Preheat a sauté pan or skillet over medium-high heat.

Add a splash of oil to the pan, enough to cover the bottom of the pan with a thin film. Season the salmon filets with salt and pepper and carefully place them in the pan. Sear the fillets on both sides until they’re golden brown, crispy and cooked through.

Boil or steam the potatoes. Toss hot potatoes into a mixing bowl. Using a potato masher, mash them until smooth. Add the salmon, eggs, mustard and green onions. Season with more salt and pepper. Beat with a wooden spoon until everything is well combined and then form the mixture into evenly shaped cakes. Dredge them in the flour.

Clean out the skillet and preheat over medium-high heat. Add another splash of oil and this time 1-2 tablespoons or so of butter. When the butter melts and sizzles, add the fish cakes. Pan-fry them until they’re golden brown and crispy on both sides.

Serves 4.

OK, I'll hop on the Fourth of July recipe bandwagon, even though I'm Canadian! It seems plenty of Americans enjoy making red, white and blue food to celebrate the fourth. It occurred to me one might be able to bake a red, white and blue cupcake.

Canadian Wedding Blog Canadian Contest - Simon & Schuster Canada

I’m a big fan of reading.  I’m a big fan of books in general, and can usually be found spending too much money and too much time in bookstores – big, new bookstores with coffee shops inside, or tiny little independently owned shops where they know me by name.  And watch out at garage sales – if I don’t see a stack of books on the table, I usually don’t even stop!  I force myself to read only one book at a time, and to enjoy it as much as possible.

Since it’s Summer, my “Must Read” pile has gotten a bit higher than usual.  I’ve been spending a lot of time at the cottage, lounging on the deck with a book in one hand and a drink in the other.  This is my heaven, plain and simple.

So how perfect is it that Simon & Schuster Canada have just announced this AHMAZING Summer Reading Sweeps, open to Canadians.  Enter to win 1 of 10 beach bags of books and goodies from Cake Beauty & Softlips – yes, that’s right, a STACK of books and goodies.  Sounds good right about now, doesn’t it?  I thought so.

 

Canadian contest brought to you by Simon & Schuster Canada.  Deadline for entries is July 31, 2011.
