There are five delicious species of Alaska Salmon: King, Sockeye, Coho, Keta, and Pink. Each salmon species has a unique color and flavor profile.
Alaska sockeye salmon has a distinctive rich flavor and a deep red flesh color – color that stays bright even when cooked. Although it is one of the most abundant of the salmon species it is a small fish, averaging just 6 pounds. A whole sockeye salmon side usually weighs 1.5 pounds.
The following cooking techniques have been developed specifically for Alaska sockeye salmon.
Outdoor Grilling:
Indoor Pan-Grilling:
Adjust cook time as needed for thickness of fish and cook just until fish is lightly translucent in the center. It will finish cooking from retained heat.
