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!)

Yum!
I’d love the chance to win this! My grill-obsessed father in law would love it!
Yum! These look wonderful!
I love this! My little guys are fiends for salmon and I am too – I guess the apple didn’t fall too far from the salmon-loving tree.
Sounds delish!
I would love this for my husband.
What a great idea! Who doesn’t love a delicious salmon dinner? Thanks for the contest and your amazing blog!
I would love to win this and host a fathers day feast for my neighbors!
Looks delicious, what a great idea!
My husband is in the Army and we just moved from the Pacific Northwest to the middle of nowhere Missouri. Have been missing fresh, wild salmon so much!
How beautiful they look!!

Great giveaway. Thank you!
The salmon looks fantastic and your recipe seems like the perfect way to let it shine. Thanks for the giveaway, I know a few dads who would love to receive this gift!
Yum! What a great giveaway.
I grew up in Seattle and, during my “senioritis” year at the University of Washington, worked as crew on a fishing boat in Alaska for 1 week. It was an amazing and memorable experience. I remember getting so close to a whale it blew in our faces, kayaking with sea otters, and catching my own 80 lb. halibut off the side of the boat. I now live on the East coast and (apologies to native New Englanders, but this is totally true) Atlantic salmon doesn’t hold a candle to the Alaska catch I grew up with. Love the site!
Mmm. Yes. Went Sitka salmon fishing w/my dad when I was on a cruise to Alaska– this would make a great gift.
I love salmon! Being from the northwest it’s a staple of a good summer meal, but out in Brooklyn good salmon is harder (and more expensive!) to come by. Great idea!
