HOW TO BEST COOK SOCKEYE SALMON
The possibilities are endless for cooking sockeye salmon. Our recipe pages have a little something for everyone: some are healthier than others, some are more simple. The sockeye salmon is known to be a versatile salmon because the flesh is not as delicate as other types of salmon and can withstand grilling, but it is also flavorful enough to be enjoyed poached or simply baked. Some recipes savor the flavor of the fish and leave it as the main attraction, and others marry the impressive flavor of the sockeye salmon with the flavors of your garden or spices of the world. Healthy eating is not the only benefit of eating salmon, the preparation versatility is truly endless. You can fry salmon in your trusty castiron skillet for just a few minutes each side in coconut oil with just salt and pepper. You can bake a fillet or portion at 350 in your oven’s middle rack until the fish becomes opaque and starts to flake apart. Try it in a burger patty form and throw it on the grill, again just 1-2 minutes each side here. The fat content in the sockeye is high enough that smoking enhances the flavor and doesn’t dry out the fish; try a brown sugar brine and get the smoker fired up! All of these options are delicious, but the lower heat options preserve the health benefits of the salmon the most, according to nutritionist Annie Fenn.
DOES IT FIT YOUR DIET?
Sockeye salmon is a protein worth ear-marking for any and all diets and eating habits. Sockeye salmon can be a leader in the keto diet. With some wild-caught sockeye salmon as your base protein, you’ll be able to find many recipes to make an entire keto-friendly meal.
Although our products are not produced under the Kosher supervision, sockeye salmon is a Kosher fish. In our research, we have found that scaled and finned fish can be considered kosher, and that salmon, even when skinned, can be considered kosher because it is unmistakably salmon. The Orthodox Union explains, “we still endorse the idea of buying skinless salmon [without scales visible]. So long as the consumer is familiar with what salmon is supposed to look like, we are not concerned that another fish will be substituted for salmon which is not kosher.” Our vacuum-sealed packaging and perfectly portioned fillets also support meal prep, kid meals or cooking for just one. If you’re feeding a family each evening, you might want a box of fillets. If it’s just you, try a box of portions and thaw just one out a few nights a week. No matter your diet, the benefits of wild-caught salmon are tremendous. We believe wholeheartedly in salmon benefits that we founded a business on it. Our kids are growing up on this fish, and we want you to have the chance to enjoy the same good health wild-caught salmon provides.
