Marisa's Easy Kitchen Cooks Up Grilled Lemon Salmon with Gold Medal Olympian Laura Fortino

Marisa's Easy Kitchen Series welcomes our very own Canadian National Women’s Team icon and Olympic Gold Medalist, Laura Fortino. Recently hired as the first female assistant coach in OHL history ...and Director of Player Development, Laura joins me as we take a shot at a dinner for champions! 😉 High in flavour, protein, fibre, and other important micronutrients, this meal will guard your health and put you on the scoreboard. 😋 Learn how to make an easy and super delicious grilled salmon, scented with lemon and served on a colourful quinoa salad, loaded with crunchy vegetables.

Easy Grilled Salmon with Colourful Quinoa Salad

3lb salmon fillet (with or without skin)
2 tbsp olive oil
4 green onions, sliced
Sea salt
black pepper
3 lemons, washed and sliced ⅛” thick
Sprig of fresh herbs (Optional: oregano, thyme, rosemary)

Remove salmon from refrigerator while grill is heating to about 375°F.

Tear 1 sheet of heavy-duty foil, large enough to easily wrap fillet, lengthwise. Place on rimmed baking sheet for ease. (Optional: You may lay a piece of parchment paper on top of foil so that food does not come in contact with foil).

Drizzle a little olive oil on middle of foil. Place a single layer of lemon slices.

Rinse and dry salmon with paper towel. Remove any remaining bones. Generously season both sides with salt and pepper.

Place salmon fillet on foil. If the tail end of salmon is thin, fold just that part under itself. If sides of fillet are thin, fold just that part under itself. This keeps the thickness of fillet even. Lay remaining lemon slices on top. Sprinkle green onion slices. Add sprig of herb on top, if using. Drizzle with a little olive oil.

Wrap salmon, bringing sides of foil to top centre and folding to secure. Create a leak-proof pouch by folding the ends upward.

Carefully slide that foiled package directly onto the grill from the baking sheet. Close BBQ lid and grill for about 10 - 15 minutes or until the internal temperature of thickest part reaches 145F degrees. The cooking time will vary based on the thickness of salmon fillet. Do not overcook.

Remove from heat. Salmon can rest in closed pouch for only a few minutes before becoming overcooked.

Colourful Quinoa Summer Salad

1⅓ cups Organic TriColor Quinoa Grain cooked according to package directions and cooled (preferably cooked in chicken or vegetable stock)
2 ears corn on the cob, BBQ’d and removed from cob (Rub a little oil on corn and place directly on grill while salmon is cooking. Rotate a few times and remove when char marks are visible - about 10 minutes).
2 peppers (1 red and 1 orange, preferably), chopped
1 hot pepper, chopped (Poblano, Habanero)
1 cucumber (cubed)
1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
3 cups cabbage, shredded
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1/2 red onion, finely chopped
3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
½ cup That Guys Mango Habanero BBQ sauce
½ tsp Salt
freshly ground pepper to taste
¾ cup almonds slices, toasted on BBQ
½ cup chopped parsley or cilantro or mint

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Toss well and refrigerate for a few hours, preferably.

Osso Buco (Season 1, Episode 5)

INGREDIENTS
½ cup plain flour (can substitute gluten-free flour)
6 veal shanks (at least 2" thick)
Sea salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
4 tbsp olive oil
1 large onion finely chopped
1 large carrot peeled, finely chopped
2 celery ribs finely chopped
2 tbsp tomato paste optional
2 garlic cloves crushed
¾ cup red wine
400 g can tomatoes crushed (preferably Italian San Marzano)
½ cup veal or beef stock preferably homemade
1 sprig of fresh thyme
1 sprig fresh rosemary
1 tsp dried oregano
2 dried bay leaves

INSTRUCTIONS

Preheat oven 325℉.

Be sure to purchase the best veal shanks you can afford, at least 2” thick.
Dry veal shanks with paper towels. With scissors, make a few snips through membrane that holds shanks together to prevent meat from curling up.

Generously salt and pepper both sides.

Dredge in flour, shaking off excess.

Heat oil in heavy roasting pan. On high heat, add shanks to sear well on both sides, forming a golden crust. Remove and set aside in bowl.

Reduce heat to medium and add chopped vegetables. Stir with flat-edge wooden spoon to scrape off any bits formed from searing. Stir in tomato paste, if using.

Add garlic now so it does not burn.

Add red wine and simmer for few minutes.

Add stock.

Add tomatoes.

Add herbs.

Once simmering, add shanks to nestle in mixture. Add remaining juices from bowl.

Season well with salt. Take caution if using salted stock.

Lay parchment paper directly on surface to prevent discolouration.

Cover tightly with foil and bake for about 2 - 3 hours (depending on the thickness of shanks) or until meat is fork tender.

If there is a lot of liquid, remove foil in the last 30 minutes to reduce sauce.

Use a spatula to lift the shanks out as they are very tender and can fall off the bone very easily.

Serve with hot creamy polenta, buttery mashed potatoes, or risotto. Ladle extra sauce over meat. Garnish with fresh herbs.

Crowd-Pleasing Wontons You Can Make Ahead | You Won’t Believe This Hack

If you love simple, delicious recipes that impress, you're in the ...

If you love simple, delicious recipes that impress, you're in the right place!

Get ready to fall in love with these crowd-pleasing homemade wontons! They’re delicious, easy to assemble, and perfect ...as a make-ahead appetizer for parties, family dinners, or meal prep.

In today’s video, I’m sharing my flavour-packed filling, my step-by-step folding method, and the time-saving cooking hack you won’t believe. These wontons go straight from your prepping to your freezer—and then right into the pot whenever you need them. No fuss, no stress, just pure comfort food!

By the way, these are great fried but try boiling them and adding to your favourite chicken broth! Easy wonton soup!

✨ Why you’ll love this recipe:
– Perfect appetizer for gatherings
– Make-ahead + freezer-friendly
– Quick cook time
– Customizable filling
– Includes my secret “you’ll never go back” hack!

Don’t let the thought of making wontons scare you off — these little flavour bombs are surprisingly simple and unbelievably satisfying. My shortcut? Start with a good-quality Italian pork sausage — it’s already perfectly seasoned and gives the filling a rich, savoury base without any fuss. From there, a few key Asian ingredients like soy sauce, sesame oil, and ginger transform it into something that tastes like you’ve been folding dumplings all afternoon.

Whether you boil them for soup, steam them, or fry them, these wontons come together in minutes and disappear even faster. They’re the perfect example of how a clever hack and a dash of cultural crossover can turn an appetizer into something exciting — and save some money instead of ordering out.

My Fast and Furious Wontons

Ingredients:
½ carrot, peeled, grated or finely chopped
2 green onions, trimmed and finely chopped
2 Italian garlic pork sausages, casing removed
2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
1 tsp sesame seed oil
1 tsp rice vinegar
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 400g package wonton wrappers
3 tbsp water mixed with 1 tsp cornstarch for brushing on wrappers.

Directions:
Place everything in a bowl and mix very well.
Separate wonton skins, a few at a time.
Place a heaping teaspoon of filling in the center of the wonton.
Brush cornstarch water on 2 borders of the skin, covering ¼ -inch from the edge.
Fold skin over to form a triangle, removing trapped air, sealing edges.
Pinch the two long outside points together.
Add enough oil in pot to deep fry. Heat oil to 350℉ and fry a few at a time until golden. Do not crowd pot.
Drain on paper towel and serve with sauce.

Dipping Sauce - Mix together in bowl.

4 tbsp soy sauce
1 green onion, finely chopped
1 tsp freshly grated ginger
½ tsp sesame seed oil
1 tsp Stinger Hot Honey

Variations:
Replace pork with ground chicken or replace half the pork with finely chopped shrimp.

Traditional Calabrian Feast | Frittule, Scarafugli, Braciole, & Ciccitielli | Hamilton City Magazine

Experience an authentic Calabrian traditional feast prepared the ...

Experience an authentic Calabrian traditional feast prepared the old-fashioned way — a true celebration of heritage, family, and whole-hog cooking...just like they did in Donnici, Calabria.

This incredible community event ...features over 70 volunteers who dedicate many days to preparing every dish from scratch using time-honoured techniques passed down for generations.

🐖 Main Traditional Dishes

Frittule (slow-rendered pork cuts cooked in their own fat)
Scarafugli (rich pork gravy made from meat juices and bits)
Boiled Savoy Cabbage with Scarafugli
Pork Rinds & Pork Belly
Pork Tails, Hocks, Back & Side Ribs
Braciole (Calabrian-style pork meatballs)
Rapini (Broccoli Rabe)
Salad Salad
Ciccitielli (traditional glazed fried dough nuggets)

The feast begins with hot boiled cabbage generously topped with scarafugli, alongside bowls of tender frittule, pork belly, and crispy rinds. Next come platters of tails, hocks, and ribs, followed by braciole served with sautéed rapini and fresh salad.

To balance the richness, the tables are filled with pickles, hot peppers, lemon and grapefruit slices, fresh Calabrese pita bread, and seasonal clementines... a protected (PGI) seedless citrus fruit grown primarily in the Sibari and Gioia Tauro plains of Calabria. The celebration ends with the lightly glazed traditional ciccitielli prepared by a group of expert bakers...the nonne and mamme.

This is more than a meal — it’s authentic Southern Italian cooking, farm-to-table tradition, and a powerful expression of Calabrian culture brought together by family and community.
