Restaurant mogul David Burke has teamed up with British Columbia’s Skuna Bay Salmon to help those affected by Hurricane Sandy. Skuna Salmon donated 1,000 pounds of its fresh fish to New Jersey charities already, and recently Burke, a New Jersey native, announced that a percentage of sales from his Silent Skuna Salmon dish (pan-roasted fish with bow-tie pasta, capers, olives, and tomato fondue),served at any four of his restaurants, will go to hurricane relief. Not only for a great cause, you’ll be eating healthy and getting those Omega3s after a week of too much turkey. The Silent Skuna Salmon dish is available at David Burke Kitchen, David Burke at Bloomingdale’s, David Burke Kitchen, and Fishtail.
