We know. Leftover salmon is kind of an oxymoron, but every now and then, you cook a full salmon fillet and have enough for more meals. Here are our go-to ways to enjoy your leftover salmon.
1. On a Salad
Salmon and a healthy dose of greens, plus an avocado gives you the perfect mid-day pick me up. Packed with Omega 3s, this meal is delish! Try adding squash as a starch and top it with Annie's Goddess Dressing. Photo by @the_bananadiaries
2. Salmon Salad Sandwich
A major step up from a tuna salad sandwich, salmon replaces tuna in this O'Laire Family favorite. We like to add celery, capers, and hot sauce to our signature sandwich. We literally eat this sando 2-3 times a week.
3. Tacos
Taco Tuesdays are a thing and we're real serious about our sockeye salmon tacos. You can make them simple with a little coleslaw and a mayo/yogurt sauce with lime or you can get fancy and try a unique recipe like this one for Philly Roll Tacos with Wasabi Cream.

4. Lettuce Wraps
Okay, lettuce wraps might sound boring, but how about Honey Sriracha Salmon Lettuce Wraps? This recipe is by Alaska seafood rock star, Maya Wilson of Alaska From Scratch. We have yet to try a recipe from her blog that we don't love.
5. Soup or Chowder
During the long Alaska winter, we eat A LOT of soup and chowder. This recipe for Red Curry Salmon Chowder is our favorite. It's spicy, so if you're looking for something that will satisfy the whole family, try this Sockeye Salmon Tortilla Soup. Simply sub your leftover salmon for the canned or pouched salmon the recipe calls for.

The time has come when sleep comes in two hour chunks and the deck of the Courageous is filled with fish. The crew is working around the clock, harvesting the world's best wild Alaska sockeye salmon to fill your freezers.
The F/V Courageous is currently in the Nushagak fishing district with about 650 other boats, waiting for the sockeye salmon to strike.
We've been super busy with preseason tasks the past few weeks, and now the F/V Courageous and its crew are on their way to Bristol Bay.
