4 Wild Sockeye Salmon fillets (6 if you use smaller fillets)
salt to taste
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
FOR GREEK TOPPING
1/3 cup Meridian olive oil
Juice of 2 lemons
1 clove garlic, minced
2 tsp Italian season

1 pint Meridian grape tomatoes quartered
1/2 cup sliced kalamata olives

DIRECTIONS

Meanwhile, make topping: In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Season with pepper and add feta, tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, chopped red onion, and dill. Gently mix

Our Meridian head office CAN challenge continues!! πππ Brody McDearmid is working at several of our markets today as a cashier and this was his first customer of the day! Brody started working at Meridian at the age of 16 in customer service and then become a meat cutter! He is now the company CFO. Brody is also the person who started our fundraising campaigns with CAN ~ see his story below πππ @canucksautism
As a child I loved playing sports and as a parent I was excited to watch my children play sports as well. When our son David was diagnosed with Autism at age 4, I came to realize that playing on a sports team probably wasnβt in his future. While I knew that I would miss out on the experience of watching my son play on a sports team, I was more upset that David would most likely not get to have the experience of playing sports. Shortly after Davidβs diagnosis, we were introduced to the Canucks Autism Network (CAN).
One of the first activities David participated in was soccer. My son was learning soccer drills, playing with peers and coaches and experiencing all that I hoped he would experience in sports. Since then, he has also participated in swimming and skating lessons multiple times. CAN has always done an amazing job of supporting, coaching and encouraging David in his activities. As a family we feel forever indebted to them for the experiences they have, and continue to provide for David!
