Habanero Candied Salmon Salad

Salmon is an important traditional resource for Indigenous peoples and it continues to be an important part of cultural traditions, social practices, and the economy. As part of its spiritual and cultural significance, salmon is believed to give you positive energy and strength when consumed. Numerous river systems in the Lower Mainland have fall runs of salmon. Chilliwack, Harrison and Capilano, to name a few.

LOCAL & INDIGENOUS PRODUCT FEATURE

The spicy habanero flavour in this dish comes from Sriracha Revolver hot sauce—a proudly Indigenous hot sauce brand facilitating deliciousness as uninvited guests on the unceded territory of the xÊ·məθkÊ·É™yÌ“É™m (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and sÉ™lilwÉ™taɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) peoples. ​Jordan Hocking founded Sriracha Revolver Hot Sauce Inc. in 2017 with the goal of creating a staple product that adds fun, flavour and inspiration to the chef at home. Jordan is a mom, wife, Indigenous entrepreneur, and proud member of Sweetgrass First Nation. Jordan is passionate about building a community around food and experiencing culture through food. All her hot sauce recipes have been inspired by flavours or ingredients she has enjoyed while traveling or by wanting to eat something that didn't exist anywhere else. Along with a small, dedicated team, Jordan makes craft size batches of hot sauce that are a treat to enjoy with all your favourite foods.
