Known for its distinct, deep red color, Sockeye looks great on a plate. Our Wild Caught Sockeye by Samuels and Son takes the look and adds a wonderful, fresh taste to your meal. With rich texture and that great salmon flavor, this is premier wild caught salmon from the icy cold waters of the Northern Pacific.
Why sockeye? Though it’s a little smaller than many of its salmon cousins, sockeye is dense, buttery and is the one salmon species that truly tastes like salmon. Also, Sockeye feeds on more plankton and other crustaceans than other salmon species, which gives it that darker color Sockeye fans know and love. Add in the high protein and Omega-3 fatty acid content, and this is one of the healthiest meals to make.
Half of the fun of cooking Sockeye is figuring out which way to undertake the task. You can bake, broil, grill, poach, sauté, or even smoke our wild caught Sockeye and always end up with the same great flavors. Remember that Sockeye is a little meatier than other species of salmon, so be careful to not overcook your fillets. A simple mix of olive oil, lemon, salt, and pepper is always a good combination for seasoning. Be sure to visit our seasoning and oil pages to stock up before you cook. Sockeye pairs well with full-bodied white wines and red wines low in tannins.
