This year we’ve been trying to eat healthier and have been incorporating a lot of fish and seafood into our diets. We’ve been enjoying it grilled, baked and/or pan-friend. It’s very versatile and easy to prepare. It can be the main focus on your dinner plate or used as an ingredient in something else. ie. fish & seafood tacos, fish burritos, a casserole, sandwich wrap, etc. #SitkaSalmonShares

Recently we were introduced to Sitka Salmon Shares which offers premium wild-caught seafood straight from the boat to your dinner table. How does it work? You can sign-up for monthly seafood box deliveries or just purchase what you need from their freezer section. All of the seafood is harvested in Alaska and the northern Pacific waters by local, small fishermen. It’s harvested in-season and blast-frozen, then delivered to your front door.
My delivery arrived quickly and I was really impressed with how well everything was packaged. It arrived partially frozen with dry ice. Each piece was individually packaged, labeled and sealed. In my box I received 3 packages of Wild Alaskan CoHo Salmon Portions and 2 packages of Wild Alaskan Halibut, along with 2 recipe cards & other information. Over the next few weeks I’ll be sharing info with you about the company, the fish and the recipes that I’m making. Trust me, all recipes will be quick & easy, perfect for the home cook.
Mozzarella Ranch Pan-Fried Wild Alaskan Coho Salmon Recipe
1 lb. Wild Alaskan Coho Salmon Portion from Sitka Salmon Shares
3/4 cup Seasoned Bread Crumbs
1/4 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese + a little extra
1 oz. Ranch Dressing Mix (dry)
2 1/2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 Tbsp. butter, softened
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
In a measuring cup mix together the Ranch Dressing Mix with the olive oil. Just use a fork and kind of whisk it together. Pour liquid mixture on a rimmed plate and then dip both sides of the fillet into it, coating the sides well.
Place seasoned bread crumbs on a plate. Lightly stir in the shredded Mozzarella Cheese. Dredge the fillet through the crumbs and shredded cheese mixture, coating both sides. Place into a hot skillet with melted butter. Pan fry each side for 6-9 minutes over medium heat or until fish is done. Cooking time will depend on how thick your fillet is. As it’s simmering, you may need to add additional butter to keep the fish from burning and sticking to the pan.
The fish is done when coating is golden brown and the fish flakes apart when using a fork. Right before it’s done sprinkle on a little bit of additional Mozzarella Cheese. Simmer for 1-2 minutes. Remove from skillet and place onto a plate. Cut into serving pieces and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
As I previously stated, we’re big seafood & fish eaters. We love it and eat it all of the time. With that said, this piece of Wild Alaskan Coho Salmon was absolutely delicious! It tasted so fresh…like it was caught that day! It had a really nice texture and flavor to it. Once it was cooked it flaked easily with a fork. My husband really enjoyed this one because it didn’t taste overly fishy. The ranch dressing and Mozzarella cheese really added to the flavor.
We’ve have dined out many times at high-end restaurants and this is something you would enjoy there, but now you can enjoy it in your own home and at an affordable price! You can make it the way you like it and enjoy it anytime you want. That’s how dining should be!
