Mid April Update

A few more reports coming in of halibut catches between Jordan River and Sombrio Beach, up to Port Renfrew, as well as some larger Spring salmon in the 20 lb range around Sooke.

Here's another salmon recipe to get your mouth watering and fire up that fishing instinct...

Orange Oven Poached Spring Salmon

Who said gourmet cooking has to be difficult?

• You need a cup of bread crumbs or finely crunched up crackers.
• Grate the rind of one orange into the bread crumbs.
• Add crushed black pepper, as spicy as you like it.
• Rinse the fish and shake dry – you want it damp, but not dripping.
• Dredge in the crumbs and place on an oiled baking dish.
• In a bowl, juice the orange and add 1-2 tbsp of butter, microwave until melted and stir.
  
• Pour over the fish.
• Bake at 400 for 15 minutes, until fish flakes easily.

Let's get fishing!
