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 husband is obsessed with salmon. He would love this for Father’s Day!
This is an awesome gift idea. My dad is watching his diet since having some heart issues crop up. Ordering now!
My husband doesn’t like salmon so I would keep this all for myself!
That would be an amazing gift! The recipe sounds delish too.

I love sockeye–delicious!
Going to order for my husband for father’s day – thanks for the great idea!
Pick me! Pick me!
sounds amazing, I love salmon! Smitten kitchen has a horseradish potato salad where the dressing is essentially your horseradish sauce, which would go great with salmon.
There is nothing like sustainable, delicious salmon for dinner – thanks David!
Looks yummy! That is the one fish my 4 year old will eat!!!! 🙂
My dad would love this!!!
You know, I don’t think I’ve ever grilled salmon. Time to remedy that!
Love salmon!
I would love this! We’re trying to eat more fish — and yout trick about calling salmon “princess fish” has won over my four year old.
Drooling!!!!!
I just passed on Pacific wild salmon yesterday at our fish market due to price considerations — this would be such a treat for my husband! (And maybe we could save enough in the freezer for my Dad too!) What a great giveaway — thank you!
Yum!
