Scallops and Arctic Char


We are so fortunate to live in this beautiful part of the world...we basically live where many people escape to their cottages on the week-ends....  It is a gorgeous Friday night...my husband is off and our lovely " Jimmy the Fishman" was by so we purchased some extra large sea scallops and Arctic Char.

The key to Scallops- Big and Fresh.  High heat, olive oil, white wine, lemon and pan sear them quickly.  It will leave a nice carmelization to them. Very quick.  Season with sea salt and fresh herbs of your choice and drizzle the left over juices on top...


The Arctic Char...Grilled on a pan on the BBQ, keep it simple. GOOD FOOD, doesn't need much. Trust me.  Simply oil and season with salt, pepper, lemon , fresh minced garlic and more wine...  Served it with a half grilled potato with sour cream and chives, grilled portabello mushrooms and salad. Blueberries are in season...so on the salad they went! We drank our meal with a lovely crisp, freshing Rose.

 Bringing in the Sea-Doo...and kids on the tube prior to dinner....Georgian Bay, Ontario, Canada.

the fur baby always joins us too!
