Cornmeal-Crusted Salmon Sandwiches With Pepper Mayonnaise

Tail portions of salmon are perfect for this recipe, because they are wide and about equal thickness throughout. If using thicker centre-cut fillets, slice in half crosswise to make eight pieces and have two per sandwich. You may need a bit more cornmeal for this.

Poached Pike in Aspic

The fish is poached, then set in a savoury vegetable stock. Traditionally carp is used because it is a symbol of strength, but you can also use pike, pickerel or whitefish.

Brown Sugar Roasted Fall Fruit

Browning the butter lightly before tossing with the apples and pears brings a slightly nutty flavour to the dish. Serve over vanilla ice cream or frozen yogurt for a simple and delicious dessert. Royal Gala apples keep their shape when roasted; if you can't find them, choose ones that are similar, such as Northern Spy, Golden Delicious or Cortland.

Cornmeal, Currant and Honey Biscotti

Salmon Kabobs With Baby Bok Choy

Serve with hot cooked brown, wild or white rice. If the bok choy are tiny, you'll need two per person. You can use this marinade for other fish fillets, such as white fish, salmon, trout or tilapia, for equally delicious results.

Ground Cherry & Vanilla Jam

Blueberry Citrus Sponge Cake

Serve this light dessert with berries and, if desired, whipped cream.

No-Bake Apricot Nuggets

More fudge than cookie, these nuggets were a discovery food writer Linda Stephen made in New Zealand. Kids will love crushing the vanilla wafers to make crumbs – simply place in a resealable plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin until crumbly.

Morel, Calvados and Cream Sauce

Michele Genest's award-winning cookbook, The Boreal Gourmet (Harbour Publishing, 2010), is full of delicious recipes featuring foods from the Yukon. We've adapted this recipe, which features locally grown morel mushrooms and is perfect served over pasta or grilled meats, from her cookbook. If you have fresh morels, substitute an equal amount for the dried, omitting the soaking. Just be sure to wash them well before using.
