I came clean to you before about how, until recently, I shied away from cooking fish at home. It seemed like any fish I could get at the grocery store here in the Midwest wasn’t the freshest. Since discovering Sitka Salmon Shares, that’s all changed. We’ve been enjoying salmon, fish tacos and more on the regular. In these crazy pandemic times especially, I can’t tell you how much I appreciate having blast-frozen wild salmon in my freezer, not to mention Alaskan Cod and just in this month, Black Cod and Sablefish.
Be sure to pin this recipe for later. Trust me you’ll want to make it.
Sitka Salmon Shares is a small-boat fishermen’s collective in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. Fish are individually caught then blast frozen at the peak of freshness at a small plant in Sitka. Their practices are environmentally friendly and sustainable, and I love that a portion of revenues is donated back to fish conservation. Check out their latest catch here and use code MHS to save $25 off of any share except the Taste of Fall. When you subscribe, you get a selection of seasonal fish delivered right to your doorstep.
You can’t argue with the health benefits of wild-caught Alaskan Salmon. I’ve learned that when you have a really fresh, high-quality piece of fish, you don’t need a fancy recipe or a heavy sauce to make it taste great. The natural, delicate flavor is delicious on its own. Cooking salmon is actually very simple, as you’ll see in my video below.
I paired the salmon with Superfood Slaw, one of my favorite sides. Since doing the AutoImmune Protocol at the beginning of the year, I’ve stayed gluten- and soy-free and I make sure to take in plenty of fresh veggies. This slaw is packed with nutrients and antioxidants. It’s the perfect combination of crunchy, tangy and sweet.

I’m linking up with Meranda and Lacey for Friday Five.
I love salmon and I love the combo with the superfood slaw.
Buying fish where a portion of revenues is donated back to fish conservation sounds like a win-win!
I love fish, especially salmon. Sadly, my husband does not. So I don’t get to have it as often as I’d like! This looks delicious.
Luckily Mr. Judy actually likes fish, otherwise there’d be a lot more strain over food than there already is. He’s not real fond of salmon, though I love it!
We seared tuna last night. We eat fish at least a couple of times a week (I usually eat it more).
The recipe looks yummy!
This looks really fantastic! I’ve been eating more fish myself and also order it from Alaska. I am a big slaw fan myself but have not yet added ginger great idea!
I love salmon. I always spend a little more for the wild salmon rather than the farm-raised. It just looks so much better – vibrant red rather than washed-out pink. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I am always on the lookout these days for something new to make. Cooking 7 days/week is getting old! 🙂
Unfortunately I’m not much of a fish person, though I do love shellfish. That said, this does look rather tasty…and the slaw sounds really good, too 🙂
I’m not big into salmon but I would love to try your super food slaw!
Thanks for linking up with us! We appreciate it!
Sorry but I don’t enjoy fish and seafood. However those dishes look beautiful.
Moreover I am teetotal.
I am losing all the beautiful things of the life.
