Also known as red salmon, sockeye is the second smallest of the five main Pacific salmon species after pink salmon. Frequently considered to be the best for flavor and texture, which is one of the reasons why it is often canned, sockeye is relatively low in fat with flesh carrying a fluorescent orange tinge. We love Sockeye because it is very sustainable and extremely versatile for all your Salmon dishes.

Side Dish Ideas for Salmon Sockeye Fillet
Sockeye salmon is a delicious and healthy fish filet perfect for various meal options. When pairing suggestions, lemon, and herbs such as dill, parsley, or thyme can be ideal. This adds a bright and fresh flavor to the dish. It goes well with a light cream sauce, which can help balance out the bold flavors of the fish. For a more exotic twist, serve your sockeye salmon fillet with Asian flavors like soy sauce, ginger, or sesame oil.
Chef Adam Cooking Tip:
Cook like any other Salmon but be sure to add a little extra fat because this Wild variety is a "swimmer" and it tends to be a little less fatty and it needs a bump of extra olive oil or Bacon - who doesn't love some bacon....
