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!)

My dad would love this! What a great giveaway! Can’t wait to try this recipe!
This is great! We are big salmon fans, so this is basically a dream!
I am a midwest-transplant to the Pacific Northwest and your miso-glazed salmon recipe has made me a rock star amongst Pacific Northwest natives (husband included). Definitely will be trying the above recipe and will be looking into the Wild Alaska Direct service.
This would be amazing! My husband would love it AND it’s a fish that my kids happily scarf up. win-win!
Yum, sounds amazing!
I recently moved out of Vancouver, BC (many tears), and one of the things I miss most is fresh Copper River salmon. This sounds amazing!
My family seriously doesn’t get enough fish our diet. Salmon is my favorite!
Sounds like a perfect Father’s Day present!
mmmm, salmon….
Like all DALS recipes, this grilled salmon w/herby horseradish sauce sounds yum! Can’t wait to make it this weekend–and thanks for the tip on Wild Alaska Direct!!!
Delicious!
I’d keep this for myself and get my dad a different gift 🙂 Thanks for the giveaway!
I would love to win this as my children adore salmon. We would invite my dad and have him bring the cedar planks! I will be remembering the sauce recipe in case I win! This is a great idea for father’s day – Dads love salmon 🙂
What a wonderful father’s day idea! Especially since our daughter loves eating fish so we would get a peaceful dinner out of it too!
I’m not a huge Salmon fan but this would be an AMAZING gift for my dad. We joke that all he eats these days is fish, nuts, and berries. 🙂
Bristol Bay salmon? Absolutely delicious.
Yum, salmon is my favorite!
I’m so motivated to comment on this one! I have friends who live in AK and go fishing- occasionally I see them, and they always bring frozen or smoked salmon with them. Delish. My fave is to make a mustard/chili powder/cumin/cinnamon/olive oil glaze, bake or grill, then drizzle with real maple syrup. The best.
Salmon is the best!
Good salmon is so good!
Amazing! We love salmon in our house!
Thanks for the opportunity to win.
Love salmon….love to catch them but our season is closed. I could definitely cook this on my grill. We grill all year round, even when it snows!
Oh yes, please! As a northwest girl, now living in NJ, this would be MY perfect gift (that I would be willing to share with my husband). Thanks!
I LOVE salmon and love the idea of this as a gift for daddies everywhere!!
