Why you should add wild Alaska salmon to your recipes

Keen to take a fresh approach to food in 2024? Incorporating this wild, natural and sustainable seafood superstar into your meals is the perfect way to start

The beginning of a new year is a great time to switch up your eating habits with delicious and nutritious ingredients you may not have tried before.

Take canned wild Alaska salmon. While tuna may be your usual go-to when you reach for a can of seafood, you’ll find canned wild Alaska salmon ticks all the right boxes – and then some. Sourced from the pristine waters of the North Pacific, it’s healthy, versatile and sustainable, plus it has a wonderfully unique taste and vibrant pink colour.

Perfect in every way

Not only is canned wild Alaska salmon rich in protein and a good source of omega-3 and vitamins B12, A and B, but it’s also often frozen as soon as it’s caught, so the fresh taste and all its goodness is locked in from the sea to the supermarket shelves.

What’s more, Alaska is home to some of the cleanest waters in the world, so it’s no surprise its salmon is so full of flavour and fabulously versatile.

Whether you’re preparing a salad with cherry tomatoes, romaine lettuce, chopped avocado and a drizzle of balsamic vinegar, or something more substantial such as homemade salmon patties or a creamy pasta with Greek yogurt, spinach and mushrooms, canned wild Alaska salmon’s tender texture lends itself to a wide variety of dishes. Better still, it’s already cooked and ready to eat, making it incredibly quick, fuss-free and easy to enjoy, so you can whip up a nutritious meal with it in just minutes.

A considered catch

Of course, Alaska is known and loved for its icy glaciers, beautiful sea fjords and snow-topped mountain ranges – but did you know it also leads the way with sustainability?

Since it became a US state in 1959, it’s been written into Alaska’s constitution that fish should “be utilised, developed and maintained” with a sustained yield principle in mind. This commitment ensures Alaska’s fishing practices always take care not to cause harm to fish, marine plants, animals or the environment. It also means fish populations are never overfished, so there are enough left to replenish the natural population.

In short, canned wild Alaska salmon is delectable, convenient and an environmentally responsible choice, making it a real win-win for your shopping list this January and beyond.
