Coho Salmon Linguine From “Moosemeat and Marmalade”

For the past ten years and seven seasons, Indigenous hunter and bushcook Art Napoleon has showcased Indigenous food and culture through the television series, Moosemeat & Marmalade, emphasizing sustainability, community, and tradition. However, like all great things, the Leo-nominated series will air its final episode on July 30th. 

As a parting gift, the show has shared Napoleon’s delicious recipes for us to enjoy at home, including this rich and creamy coho salmon linguine—a guaranteed crowd-pleaser packed with flavour.
