Wild-Caught Alaskan Sockeye Salmon - 8 oz.

Our sockeye salmon is sustainably sourced and wild-caught in Alaska. Alaska’s fishery managers monitor salmon returns and adjust fishing openings and harvest levels to allow enough fish to return to freshwater and spawn.

What’s the Serving Size for 8 oz. Alaskan Sockeye Salmon?

Your Alaskan sockeye salmon will come frozen in an 8 oz. fillet. Each fillet is center-cut, boneless, and with the skin on to retain texture and optimal flavor.

Our recommendation is to serve one 8 oz. fillet per person with your favorite fish and seafood appetizers and side dishes.

The Health Benefits of Salmon

Seafood is widely regarded by medical experts and dieticians to be healthy, providing nutritional benefits not found in other meat sources. While salmon is often widely publicized for its health benefits, in general, most fish species are also low in calories and fat, but high in protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Sockeye Salmon is often included on lists of the best “superfoods” you can find and for good reason. A 3 oz. serving of salmon contains just 60 calories and 10 grams of fat, while offering a whopping 17 grams of protein.

Simple Instructions for Storing and Thawing Salmon

Storage: Keep frozen ≤ 0℉ (-18° C). Vacuum-sealed fish held under these conditions should retain their quality for at least 6 to 12 months. Lean white fish (halibut, cod) generally have a longer freezer life than fatty fish (salmon, tuna, sablefish). It is important to note seafood stored in frost-free freezers should be used within 3 months.

Thawing instructions: Thaw under refrigeration ≤ 38℉ (3℃). Before thawing, puncture or remove packaging. For quick-thawing, place frozen fish in cool water for approximately 20 to 30 minutes, just until contents are flexible. Once thawed, immediately cook or refrigerate (if refrigerating, puncture the package). Regardless of the chosen thawing technique, once the product is thawed, it should be cooked within 24 hours and stored at a temperature no higher than 38℉ (3℃).

Cooking Wild Alaskan Sockeye Salmon

All of our fish products can be served in a variety of ways. You can follow your own household recipe or find plenty of fish recipes online, like our Miso-Glazed Salmon with Sesame Noodles.

For a simple salt and pepper salmon recipe, follow these instructions:

1.) Preheat oven to 425℉. Line baking sheet with aluminum foil.

2.) Pat salmon dry then rub lightly with oil to cover the fillet. Sprinkle generously with salt and pepper.

3.)Place fish on baking sheet skin side down.
Put into oven. Cook 4-6 minutes for every 1/2 inch thickness of fish. 4 minutes is on the rare side, while 6 is completely cooked through. Salmon is done when it easily flakes.

Please be Aware: Consuming raw or undercooked fish may increase your risk of foodborne illness, especially if you have certain medical conditions.
