No matter how you prefer to cook your Fresh & Wild fillet, taking your time is key. Slow cooking helps seal in those natural juices for a more flavorful dish. Look for the flesh to go from translucent to mostly opaque and flake easily with a fork to know it's done.

For baking, preheat your oven to 275°F. Lay your fillet on a cookie sheet brushed with olive oil, skin side down, and bake for around 15-18 minutes without flipping.

If you're grilling, brush your grill with olive oil before heating. Once it's medium-hot (hold your hand 6 inches above the grill for 5 seconds), brush the top of each fillet with olive oil and place them on the grill. Season with salt and pepper, grill until the edges start turning opaque, flip once, and continue until fully cooked.

Fresh fish is a wonderful addition to your meals, offering both flavor and nutrition. To preserve its quality and safety, follow these tips for storing fresh fish:

  1. Keep it cold: When your Fresh & Wild catch arrives, promptly refrigerate. For best results, place it on a bed of ice or use ice packs to maintain a cold temperature.
  2. Wrap it up: Use plastic wrap or aluminum foil to tightly wrap the fish. This prevents exposure to air and helps retain moisture, keeping the fish fresh.
  3. Plan your meal: Fresh fish is most enjoyable within 1 to 3 days after delivery. If you don't plan to use it within this timeframe, consider freezing it to preserve its freshness.

How is the freshness of the fish guaranteed during delivery? 

Your Fresh & Wild fillet will ship fresh, never frozen. It should arrive cool to the touch on gel ice packs. Our fresh events ship with expedited shipping and are packaged in insulated bags that keep them cool.

Can I freeze my fresh fish?

Your fresh fillets can be frozen & will keep in the freezer for approximately 30 days; once thawed it should be cooked and used within 1-2 days.  We recommend after rinsing the fillets and patting dry, to wrap in a plastic wrap and then in a freezer bag before freezing.

Do the Fresh & Wild filets contain bones? 

Your Fresh & Wild fish has been hand-filleted and may come with a few pin bones as these are hard to remove in fresh fish.

Where do you source your fresh fish? 

We work with different fishing companies and have many catch locations for our Fresh & Wild Events. Your order will come with an insert that will give you details of where the product came from. Some of our most favorite catch locations are Columbia River, Salish Sea, Prince William Sound, Cook Inlet, and of course Copper River.

COOKING:

Regardless of how you like to cook your wild salmon (bake, broil, grill, sauté or poach), we believe the key to success is to SLOW DOWN! Slow cooking locks in the natural juices of the salmon, for a more succulent flavor. When the salmon has turned from translucent to just about completely opaque the salmon is done. At this point the salmon should begin to flake easily with a fork. It is important to note that once removed from the heat, your fresh, wild salmon will continue to cook for several more minutes. 
 
Here are some specific guidelines by cooking method:  

  • TO BAKE: Pre-heat oven to 275°F. Place your wild salmon fillet skin side down on a cookie sheet brushed with olive oil, and bake for approximately 20 minutes. Do not flip salmon fillet. 
  • TO GRILL: Brush grill with olive oil PRIOR to heating. Once the grill is medium-hot (you should be able to hold your hand 6 inches above the grill for 5 seconds), brush the top of the wild salmon fillet with olive oil, and place on grill skin side up. Grill fillet until sides begin to turn opaque. Flip once, using two spatulas, and continue grilling until fully cooked. 
  • TO BROIL: Place your wild salmon fillet skin side down on a broiler pan brushed with olive oil, and place on oven’s middle rack. Generally broil about 10 minutes or so, though keep watching to avoid overcooking. Do not flip salmon fillet.

STORAGE:
Your fresh & wild salmon fillet can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The wild salmon fillet can be frozen & will keep in the freezer for approximately 30 days; once thawed it should be cooked and used within 1-2 days. 

The best way to thaw your salmon, after freezing it, is to leave it in the refrigerator overnight (still in its wrapper), allowing at least 8-10 hours. Trying to rush the process by thawing at room temperature or placing the frozen pouch in warm water is definitely NOT recommended, as it can cause the salmon to lose flavor and texture. If you must thaw your salmon quickly, place the frozen, still wrapped salmon, in a bowl of cool water for 30-45 minutes, and then continue thawing in refrigerator.
