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!)

Yummo! Yes, please!
Such a great idea!!! We live in Arizona and dream about going to Alaska, just to eat salmon, especially after reading about your trip there!
We love salmon (sold my daughter on it by calling it pinkalicious dinner)
Sounds delicious! I would selfishly gift this to my husband so I could enjoy it too 🙂
What a brilliant Father’s Day gift idea! Looks delicious
I love that the salmon is sustainably sourced! I’ve never met a man that doesn’t like salmon so what a great idea.
That salmon is beautiful and the herby horseradish sauce sounds perfect. Such a great DALS giveaway!
Thank you for the giveaway and the recipe!
How cool is this?!? I’ve been trying to get my family to eat salmon. Yum!
We usually save our salmon feasting for when we visit family in the north west, but we would happily devour this right here in New Mexico if we won!
Awesome! Would love to have more salmon in my life!
That sounds fabulous!
Looks great – love the look of that salad as well.
Love salmon! Could easily eat all of this myself.
I love grilles salmon!
My husband dies a mean BBQ salmon.
Yum! My husband would have to fight with my daughters over that delicious looking salmon!
What a wonderful way to be both good FOR dads and good TO dads! This is a special gift!
Looks fantastic! Even if I don’t win, I will definitely check this out.
How fun! This is my husband’s first Father’s Day (we have 6-month-old twins) and we both adore salmon!!
We ordered 5 pounds of salmon from Wild Alaska Direct last month. What a delicious treat! The order was placed on Tuesday night and Thursday night we were enjoying the salmon, grilled with a lemon dill sauce. We just cooked more wild Alaska Direct salmon for my wife’s birthday dinner and will spurge again on the 4th of July. Truly worth every penny.
We highly recommend it.
my dad would love this.
Ooh, this makes me want to cook salmon immediately–would be even better to do it with this salmon in particular!
