Wild Alaskan Keta Salmon Fillets
What it is
These are raw, boneless, skinless fillets of wild-caught keta salmon, sourced from the pristine waters of Alaska. Keta salmon, also known as chum salmon, is a mild-flavored fish with a firm texture and a beautiful pinkish-orange hue. The fillets are typically flash-frozen shortly after being caught to preserve their freshness and quality. This product offers a convenient way to enjoy high-quality salmon at home.
How people cook with it
Salmon is a versatile fish that can be prepared in many ways, from simple pan-searing to more elaborate baking and grilling.
- Pan-seared for a quick weeknight meal
- Baked with herbs and lemon
- Grilled with a glaze
- Flaked into salads or pasta dishes
Before cooking, ensure the salmon fillets are fully thawed. You can thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or by placing the sealed package in cold water for a few hours. Pat the fillets dry with paper towels to help achieve a nice sear. Season generously with salt and pepper, and any other desired herbs or spices. Cook in a preheated oven, on a grill, or in a skillet over medium-high heat until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of the fillets.
How it differs from similar foods
Keta salmon is generally milder in flavor and less oily than some other salmon varieties like sockeye or king salmon. Its texture is firm, making it a good choice for grilling as it holds its shape well. The color is typically a lighter pink compared to the vibrant red of sockeye.

How to keep the rest
Keep any unused, thawed salmon fillets refrigerated and cook within one to two days. If the fillets are still frozen, store them in the freezer until ready to use. Ensure the packaging remains sealed to prevent freezer burn and maintain quality.
