If you’re like most people, the first place your mind goes when it’s time to dream up Father’s Day gifts is outside, in the general direction of the grill. And if the dad in question is like most dads, he already has his fair share of tongs, trays, tools and toys. Here’s an idea: How about something that actually gets cooked on the grill? Like, for instance, a box of wild, sustainably-sourced, sockeye salmon from Alaska’s pristine Bristol Bay? A few weeks ago, an Alaskan fisherman named Matt emailed me about his new company, Wild Alaska Direct which delivers boneless meal-size portions of premium sockeye anywhere in the US with free shipping. (If that didn’t sell me, his P.S. about being a gin-and-tonic soulmate certainly did.) Anyway, Matt was nice enough to offer an exclusive Father’s Day giveaway contest for DALS readers: A 5-pound box of fillet portions, delivered right to one lucky winner’s door. That’s six dinners for two, twelve single portions, or a dinner for you and 11 of your closest friends. How fun is that? To be eligible, all you have to do is comment below. Contest ends Sunday, June 5 at 8:00 ET. (Update: The winner has been notified. Thank you all for playing!)

If we can’t take Dad to Alaska, maybe we can bring Alaska to him! Thanks!
Alaska is my dream destination! I study the Iditarod Dog Sled race every year with my first grade class and have been enchanted with this amazing state ever since. Bonus: unique Father’s Day idea! Our family loves salmon….I use a soy sauce, ginger, garlic, brown sugar marinade that is devoured in minutes! Thanks!
Sign me up!
yum yum!!
Would like to enter the drawing for the father’s day salmon. Thanks!
Oh, wow! Happy Father’s Day, indeed.
We love salmon and so do our kids, made this tonight on the grill and it was great!! Also love my salmon with capers and brown butter and lots of lemon and we pick off the capers for the kids.

I know one dad in my house that would love this!!
Yum! This looks great!
Please enter me! I could eat salmon every night, and my kids love it even more!
Thanks!
Oooh, salmon! My husband would love that…assuming I am willing to share 😉
So…I’ve never cooked salmon. BUT it’s on my “I want to try this” list but I’ve never been sure of where to find good salmon in my little Utah town. So we haven’t done it yet…but I will! And this would be a perfect jumpstart to our salmon introduction!
