King salmon is also rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help reduce the risk of heart disease, and may even help with weight management.

One of the main reasons why king salmon is so highly prized is its taste. The flesh is firm, oily, and flaky, and it is typically orange or pink in color.

Wild Alaska King Salmon Nutrition Information
Seafood ordered from Sizzlefish should be kept frozen until ready for preparation. Items can be stored frozen for up to 12 months, but are best if consumed within 6 months of purchase.
The best way to thaw our seafood is to remove the product from the original packaging, place it in a plastic bag, and allow it to thaw in the refrigerator for about 6 hours. If you require faster thawing, we recommend placing the product into a non-vacuum sealed bag and placing it in cool water for around thirty minutes to an hour.
Once thawed and removed from packaging, liberally season desired spices to your fillet. (Tip: lay fish on parchment or wax paper for an easy clean up).
King salmon can be cooked in various ways, including pan-searing, baking, grilling, and smoking. Here are some tips for cooking king salmon:
Pan-Searing:
Pat dry and salt the skin. This will enable the skin to become crispy and not stick to the bottom of the pan. Turn the heat on the nonstick pan to medium-high. Once hot, add your oil(about 1-2 tbsp is plenty). Place the fish into the hot pan and sauté for approximately 6-8 minutes, skin side down. Flip to the flesh side with a fish spatula for 2-3 minutes.
Baking:
Place salmon on an oven-safe pan and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 125°F for medium and 145°F for well done. Be careful not to overcook Sockeye, or it can become extremely dry.
Grilling:
Place salmon on tin foil or cedar plank (you can purchase them on Sizzlefish) and cook for approximately 8-12 minutes, depending on the fillet's thickness and the temperature of your grill. You aim for the internal temperature at 125°F for medium and 145°F for well done.
Smoking:
Prepare your smoker according to the manufacturer's instructions to smoke king salmon. Brush the salmon with olive oil and season with your favorite herbs and spices. Place the salmon in the smoker and smoke for 1-2 hours, or until the internal temperature reaches 145°F.
