Sockeye Salmon is a Northwest favorite and it's easy to see why. The flesh is firm and pink with a rich, buttery flavor. The best way to cook Sockeye Salmon is to pan-sear it skin-side down in a hot skillet until it's crispy and the flesh is cooked through. One simple way to elevate your Sockeye Salmon is to serve it with a delicious sauce. For example, try my Honey-Lime Cilantro Sauce. It's easy to make and it goes great with Sockeye Salmon.

Chef's Serving Suggestions

If you're looking to pair a delicious side dish with your Sockeye Salmon, I highly recommend trying some roasted Brussels sprouts with bacon. The salty and smoky flavor of the bacon pairs perfectly with the delicate flavor of the salmon. Another great option is a simple herb sauce made with parsley, lemon, and olive oil. This sauce can be used to top any type of fish, so its a great option if you're looking for something versatile. Some of the best side dishes to serve with Sockeye Salmon include rice, couscous, orzo, and other small pastas.
