Wild-caught sockeye salmon fillet sold by the pound from the Costco fresh seafood counter. This previously frozen fillet features the deep red-orange color and rich flavor characteristic of Pacific sockeye salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka). The fillet is boneless and skin-on, thawed from a flash-frozen state to preserve freshness and texture.

Sockeye salmon is prized for its firm texture, vibrant color, and robust flavor compared to other salmon species. It is naturally high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids, including EPA and DHA, which support heart and brain health. Wild-caught Alaskan sockeye salmon is also known for having lower levels of contaminants compared to farmed varieties. The fillet is versatile and suitable for grilling, baking, sauteing, or pan-searing.
