What's the difference between sockeye and pink salmon?

While pink salmon typically offers a light and mild flavor, sockeye salmon captivates with its rich and bold flavor profile. Sockeye salmon, being a naturally oilier fish, is rich in heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids, setting it apart from other types.

How to Prepare Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon

For Baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Gently rub the fish with oil and your chosen seasonings. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and bake for 8-10 minutes, ensuring it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145°F for optimal taste and safety.

For Grilling: Preheat your grill to medium-high or 375°F. Ensure to thoroughly oil the grill grates before seasoning the fish. Place it on the grill skin-side up, keeping the lid open for 4 minutes per inch of thickness (consider rotating halfway through if you prefer crosshatch grill marks). Flip and continue cooking for an additional 4-5 minutes with the lid closed, ensuring it reaches a minimum internal temperature of 145°F. Please note, appliance performance may vary, affecting cook times.

Recommended Wine Pairing

For our Member’s Mark Fresh Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon, we recommend pairing it with a rich red wine such as the Member’s Mark Pinot Noir. This red wine is known for its light to medium body, fruitiness and acidity with a complex flavor profile. When paired with salmon, the fruitiness of the Pinot Noir complements the richness of the fish, while the acidity helps to cut through the oiliness of the salmon. This fish also has a delicate flavor that can easily be overwhelmed by a heavy or tannic wine. Pinot Noir is a great choice because it is not too heavy or tannic, allowing the flavor of the salmon to shine through. For more information on Member’s Mark Pinot Noir, click here.

Season your Salmon Fillets with Kinder’s

Take your sockeye salmon to the next level with Kinder’s Lemon Butter and Garlic Seasoning. It’s made with sea salt, garlic, sugar, onion, spices, lemon peel, turmeric, butter and other flavors. Salmon and lemon butter seasoning make a perfect combination because the richness of the salmon pairs well with the bright acidity of lemon. The lemon flavor and butter mixture adds a tangy, citrusy flavor to the fish, while the garlic brings out the natural buttery quality of the salmon. The light and fresh flavor of the lemon balances the natural richness of the salmon and enhances its flavor rather than overwhelming it. The result is a deliciously flavored dish that is both light and satisfying, making it a popular choice for seafood lovers everywhere.
