Why Canadians Love Grilled Salmon Recipes
It’s no surprise Canadians crave salmon. It’s easy to find high-quality salmon here. Canada’s coastline is by far the world’s longest, stretching more than 243,000 kilometres. And experts say Canada is the country with the most lakes. That’s a whole lot of salmon habitat! Popular types of salmon for grilling include sockeye, pink and Chinook.
Canada is also famous as a mosaic of global cultures. You can enjoy grilled salmon recipes with Thai, Greek and other culinary influences. The variety is endless.
