Cooking Sockeye Salmon is Easy

Wild Sockeye Salmon is lean and richly flavoured, cooks quickly, and pairs well with bold yet simple seasoning.

Quick Prep Method

Ready in 9 minutes
  1. Pat salmon dry and brush lightly with olive oil. Season with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of citrus.
  2. Heat a pan over medium-high. Place salmon skin-side down and cook 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook another 2-3 minutes until just opaque.
  3. Remove from heat, add fresh herbs and another squeeze of citrus. Let rest 1 minute before serving.

Storage

  • Keep frozen at -18°C (0°F) or lower until ready to use.
  • Avoid moisture exposure.
  • Store thawed product in the refrigerator (3°C) and consume within 4 days.

Thawing

  • Overnight: Puncture packaging and place in the refrigerator on a plate 8-10 hours before cooking.
  • Quick: Seal in a plastic bag and submerge in cold water for 20-30 minutes.

Tips

Wild sockeye salmon is leaner and cooks faster than farmed varieties. Think quick heat, simple seasoning, and pull it early - the residual heat will finish the cooking.
