In Alaska, you can pull salmon out of an icy river that’s just a short walk from your hotel and eat it later that evening. Or, choose to get it processed and shipped back home to enjoy all winter long! Now, we’re not saying that fresh Alaska salmon could ever really get old, but there are plenty of ways to enjoy it that go far beyond just a grilled filet. Here are some of our favorite and unexpected ways to enjoy salmon; print off this list and use it as a checklist as you travel across the state!
