Our wild Alaskan Silver Salmon is certified sustainable by the Marine Stewardship Council • Certified Kosher (EarthK)

Wild Alaskan Silver Salmon is substantially leaner than Sockeye or King Salmon, yet is prized for its moist, delicate texture.

Often overshadowed by better-known Sockeye and King, Silver Salmon finds favor with many Salmon connoisseurs.

In 2000, fillets of wild, flash-frozen Alaska Silver Salmon won a blind taste test conducted by the Chef's Collaborative, beating fresh wild King salmon from Oregon and California and farm-raised Atlantic Salmon from Maine.

In addition to ample protein and fewer calories, Silver Salmon provides three beneficial natural food factors in abundance ... amounts are per 6 oz portion, and will vary annually and by harvest location:

• Omega-3s – About 2,223 mg, or four to seven times more than many fish oil capsules.
• Vitamin D3 – About 747 IU -- in the optimal D3 form -- which is much more than most other whole or fortified foods and nearly double the US RDA of 400 IU. (Most experts now advise adults to consume 1,000-2,000 IU every day.)
• Astaxanthin – About 4 mg. This red-orange pigment is a carotene-type antioxidant that, in test tube experiments, measures 100-500 times more powerful than vitamin E.

Storage Keep frozen. Thaw overnight in refrigerator, or for faster readiness, place unopened package in cold water for 30 minutes or until fish is flexible. Serving Tips Rinse fish quickly in cold, clean water. Cook in a medium-hot lightly oiled pan, under a broiler, or on the grill for 7-8 minutes, until only the very center is still translucent. Remove fish from heat and let it “self-cook” another two to three minutes, until just cooked through to center before serving. NOTE: It is perfectly safe and healthful to serve our fish raw or partly cooked, because flash-freezing has rendered it 100% sushi-safe. Enliven your fish entree with antioxidant-rich seasonings such as Vital Choice Organic Salmon Marinade Mix or other herb-spice blends. Add our Mix or the seasonings of your choice to a little olive oil and marinate the fish, refrigerated, for 30-60 minutes or overnight. Or, simply mist fish lightly with olive oil or macadamia nut oil and dust with seasonings before cooking.
