Sustainably Caught, Locally Celebrated

The Baker Lake sockeye run is more than just a source of incredible fish — it’s a symbol of what’s possible when people and ecosystems thrive together. Thanks to the collaboration between tribal and state partners, this once-diminished fishery has become a thriving source of nourishment — both for the ecosystem and for the Upper Skagit and Swinomish Tribal communities.

These salmon are harvested using selective, low-impact methods that protect surrounding species and support long-term sustainability. For the Tribal communities who have fished these waters for generations, Baker sockeye are not just food — they’re cultural heritage, economic sustenance, and ecological responsibility.

When you choose Baker Lake sockeye, you’re doing more than buying a healthy, flavorful fillet. You’re supporting a thriving Tribal fishery and helping ensure that future generations — of people and salmon alike — continue to flourish.

How to Cook & Serve

Baker Lake sockeye is incredibly versatile. It holds its color and structure beautifully during cooking, making it ideal for both weeknight meals and special occasions.

Cooking Suggestions:

• Grilled: With cedar planks and lemon glaze
• Oven-baked: Simply seasoned with olive oil, garlic, and herbs
• Pan-seared: Skin-on for a crispy finish, served with a citrus vinaigrette
• Flaked into bowls or pasta: Try with soba noodles and a sesame dressing

Quick Recipes to Try

1. Lemon Herb Baked Sockeye (Serves 2)

• 2 portions Baker Lake sockeye
• Juice of 1 lemon + 1 tsp zest
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp chopped parsley or dill
• Salt and pepper to taste

Preheat oven to 400°F. Place salmon skin-side down on a parchment-lined tray. Mix remaining ingredients and spoon over fish. Bake for 10–12 minutes or until flaky.

2. Miso-Glazed Sockeye Rice Bowls

• 2 sockeye portions
• 1 tbsp white miso
• 1 tbsp honey
• 2 tsp rice vinegar
• Cooked rice + steamed broccoli + pickled ginger

Broil salmon with glaze until caramelized, about 5–6 minutes. Serve over rice with veggies for a flavorful, balanced meal.

Why Choose Wild-Caught Over Farmed?

Most grocery store salmon is farm-raised — which means it’s lower in omega-3s, often dyed for color, and may be treated with antibiotics or raised in overcrowded pens.

In contrast, our Baker Lake sockeye:

• Grows naturally in the wild, building muscle and flavor through migration
• Contains no additives or artificial colors
• Is sustainably harvested using traditional methods
• Is flash-frozen without preservatives for peak freshness

Handling & Storage

• Ships frozen with dry ice
• Store in your freezer immediately upon arrival
• For best results: remove packaging and thaw overnight in the fridge
• Once thawed, enjoy within 5–7 days

FAQs About Baker Lake Sockeye Salmon

How many people does one portion serve?

Each 6 oz portion is perfect for one adult as a main dish. If you’re using the salmon in grain bowls, pastas, or salads, one portion can stretch to serve two.

Do I need to remove the skin before cooking?

No — the skin is left on and crisps up beautifully when pan-seared or grilled. It also helps keep the salmon moist during cooking. You can remove it after cooking if preferred.

Is this salmon seasonal?

Yes. Baker Lake sockeye is available during a limited harvest window each year, typically in late summer. We freeze the portions at peak freshness and offer them while supplies last.
