This versatile variety of salmon can be cooked using most methods, but its higher fat content makes it ideal on the grill. Try broiling, skin side up, or sear and create simple pan sauces with lemon, butter and capers. Sockeye salmon is best served medium rare to medium and is ideal for use in raw preparations, like poke.
All our salmon is caught and processed in the U.S. using sustainable hook and line fishing methods. Our fish is caught fresh and flash frozen to preserve its natural goodness. The location where the salmon was obtained is printed on each package for traceability.
What should the internal temperature of salmon be?
Chefs recommend, and we agree, the ideal temperature for salmon is 125°F. This is a medium level of doneness that is rich and moist with gently flaking salmon. Cooking to a temperature higher than 130°F. can produce dry, overly firm results.
