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!)
.Olive oil
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon chives
3 tablespoons finely chopped dill
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish

Hmm, I’ve never thought to try horseradish with salmon, but I eat salmon much more often than roast beef and love horseradish. So this is up on the docket next time I make salmon, yum!
Yum!
Stranded in Colorado, send salmon (I am croaking these words out as I crawl across the arid plains)
Salmon is a BIG favorite around here. My three-year-old daughter requests “princess fish” all the time, thanks to the tip from the DALS cookbook. Thank you!
looks fantastic
this looks so great! my whole family would love this.
Would love to send this to my dad!
We’d love this. We’re in the middle of nowhere in New Mexico and drive 2.5 hours 1/month to the Whole Foods in Albuquerque to get salmon. My 2.5 year old LOVES it and so do we. I use your dill/mustard/yogurt sauce/dip all the time.
I would love to give this to my dad for Father’s Day! He and my mom currently take care of my mom’s aging parents who ALSO love salmon – in fact, they used to go fishing for salmon in Alaska in their younger years – so this would be such an appropriate gift. Thanks for the recipe, too!
What a great idea for Father’s Day!
Fresh salmon…a favorite in my home
What a lovely way to celebrate Father’s Day, especially because everyone in my house age 2 and up loves salmon
Last year we gave him a new grill, so this would be a perfect follow-up. Thanks!
Oh yum! This would be a hit in our family!
Love salmon, especially grilled.
Love salmon and would love to win this for the family.
Oh my goodness, how great does that Salmon look. Personally, I can never have enough!
Those look great!
Yum!!! That looks delicious, and my boys & I LOVE grilled fish!
We love salmon for weeknight dinners! Yes please!
Love this!
This would be the best fathers day gift, ever!
Salmon – my favorite! I never thought to make a sauce with horseradish for it, but this sounds excellent. Will definitely have to try!
Umm! I love salmon. And directly from Alaska? even better!
What a great giveaway! Even if we don’t win, this inspires me to cook more salmon 🙂
