Naturally Rich Flavor — Distinct, bold taste with a clean finish that only wild salmon delivers.

Vibrant Color & Firm Texture — The signature deep red flesh stays bright and holds structure beautifully in any cooking style.

Source

Sourced from the legendary Fraser River, this wild Sockeye is harvested during carefully managed openings that protect the long-term health of the fishery. The river’s cold, fast-moving waters produce salmon with exceptional color, firm texture, and naturally rich flavor—premium quality backed by responsible, sustainable practices.

Cooking tips

1. Don’t Overcook It

Sockeye is lean, so it cooks fast.

Target medium: remove it from heat at 125–130°F internal temp.

Residual heat will finish the job.

2. Keep It Simple

Sockeye has a naturally bold flavor—avoid overpowering it.

Light seasoning: salt, pepper, lemon, herbs.

Simple marinades: citrus, garlic, soy, maple, or miso.

3. High Heat, Short Time

Great methods:

Pan-sear: 3–4 minutes skin-side down, then 1–2 minutes on the other side.

Bake: 400°F for 10–12 minutes for a standard fillet.

Grill: Oil the grates well; 4–5 minutes per side.

4. Keep the Skin On

The skin protects the flesh from drying out and crisps beautifully.

Pat it very dry before cooking for best results.

Press gently for the first 20–30 seconds to prevent curling.

5. Showcase the Color

Sockeye’s deep red hue makes it perfect for:

Cedar plank grilling

Poke or tartare (if your product is sashimi-grade)

Vibrant bowls and salads

6. Complementary Flavors

Pair with ingredients that match its intensity:

Citrus (lemon, orange, yuzu)

Maple or honey

Herbs like dill, parsley, or thyme

Bold sides: roasted veggies, grain bowls, chimichurri

7. Let It Rest

Give it 2–3 minutes off the heat before serving to keep juices inside.
