I grew up in my family’s catfish restaurant where everything was deep fried, so of course I still love fried fish, but I have come to love grilled fish even more.

The Sitka Salmon Shares are wild-caught and delivered from the pristine waters of Southeast Alaska and the North Pacific, and to our family as small cattle ranchers, knowing where our food comes from and supporting small business are very important.

The entire family loved the Sablefish, also known as Black Cod, in our most recent box because of its incredible buttery flavor and velvety texture.

Directions
  1. Place the fillets on the grill, skin-side down and close the grill lid. Cook for about 3-4 minutes and then flip them over and cook for another 4 minutes. Make sure to not over cook.
  2. Once the fish is removed from the grill, drizzle the herb oil over the top of the fish.
  3. Serve and enjoy!
