Wild Ivory King Salmon (5.5oz portion)

What Is Ivory King Salmon?

Ivory King Salmon is not a separate species. It is a rare, naturally occurring color variation of wild Chinook salmon.

Most King salmon store the red-orange pigments found in their natural diet. Ivory Kings have a genetic variation that prevents those pigments from accumulating in the flesh, creating colors that can range from creamy white to pale pink or naturally marbled.

The appearance may be different, but it is still true wild King salmon with the rich texture and natural oils for which Chinook is prized.

Why Is Ivory King Salmon So Rare?

Only a small percentage of wild King salmon develop ivory-colored flesh. The variation cannot reliably be identified from the outside, so fishermen generally do not know they have caught an Ivory King until the fish is cleaned.

Each one is discovered by chance within an already limited wild Chinook harvest. This makes availability seasonal, unpredictable, and extremely limited.

What Does Ivory King Salmon Taste Like?

Ivory King Salmon delivers the richness of traditional King salmon with a milder, more refined flavor.

Expect:

• Buttery, tender texture
• Mild and clean salmon flavor
• Delicate finish
• Natural richness
• Large, moist flakes

It is an excellent choice for anyone who appreciates rich salmon but prefers a less pronounced salmon flavor.

Natural Color Variation

Every Ivory King is naturally different. Individual portions may appear:

• Creamy ivory
• Nearly white
• Pale peach or pink
• Marbled with ivory and pink tones

This variation is completely natural and does not indicate a difference in freshness or quality.

How to Cook Ivory King Salmon

Keep the preparation simple and avoid overcooking. Ivory King Salmon is best when its natural oils and delicate flavor remain the focus.

Pan-Seared

Pat the portion dry, season lightly, and sear until golden. Finish over gentler heat to keep the center moist.

Oven-Roasted

Roast with sea salt, olive oil, lemon, and fresh herbs until the flesh separates into tender flakes.

Grilled

Brush lightly with oil and grill over medium heat. Its natural richness works especially well with citrus, herbs, or a light glaze.

Gently Poached

Poach slowly in seasoned broth, olive oil, or butter for an especially soft and delicate texture.
