The best ingredients require only the simplest recipes

King Salmon $35.99/lb

Harvested in from the waters of Petersburg and surroundsย in Southeast Alaska, Otolith’s King Salmon is as delicious as its name suggests.ย  Coming Soon! Wild Alaskan King salmon is availableย from Otolith at Headhouse Farm Market from September 13-May 31 and year round for Home Delivery.

Because of its savory flavor and moist texture, King salmon is a perfect ingredient to compliment fall’s leafy greens and savory root vegetables.
Serving Suggestions:
  • Simple dressed salad greens and sauteed thicker seasonalย greens compliment this rich and savory fish abundant with omega-3 fatty acids.ย  It is best to roast, grill or sear king salmon at 400 degrees.ย  Allow 10 minutes per inch of thickness to cook king salmon.ย  Once the king salmon is cooked, rest the salmon for 2-3 minutes before serving.ย  Serving suggestion: drizzle pomegranate syrup lightly over the king salmon or greens.
  • Cleaned, peeled and cut to 1 inch cubes,ย rootย vegetables coated lightly with oil will take approximately 45 minutes to roast in a 400 degree oven.ย  While vegetables are roasting, there is time to thawย the season’s best king salmon and wash and sauteeย any leafy greens with garlic and olive oil.ย  Swiss chard is done when the stalks are tender and easy to chew, but some greens such as collard requireย the addition of a little water from time to time to preventย scorching while cooking to a tender donenessย in a stove-top deep dish skillet.ย  The portions of thawed king salmon can be added directly to the roasting root vegetables after the vegetables have been cooking at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.ย  Recommended root vegetables include butternut squash, turnips, beets, or potatoes with an optionalย  quartered small onion or fennel bulb for contrast and additionalย flavor.
