Sockeye Salmon

Peak Season: June through August

Whereas the flavor of king and coho creep gently over the tongue, sockeye explodes on the palate. Its robust and bold flavor profile allows for just as bold seasonings and sauces. Try harissa or tandoori spice rubs before grilling or pan-searing. And serve with bracing sauces like chimichurri, salsa verde, or lemony pan sauce. Sockeye is well suited for raw or cured preparations like poke, ceviche, and gravlax. Their bright, rich flesh makes sockeye stand out among the other premium species.
