If youโre like most people, the first place your mind goes when itโs time to dream up Fatherโs 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. Hereโs an idea: How about something that actually gets cooked on the grill? Like, for instance, a box of wild, sustainably-sourced, sockeye salmon from Alaskaโs pristine Bristol Bay? A few weeks ago, an Alaskan fisherman named Matt emailed me about his new company,ย Wild Alaska Directย which delivers boneless meal-size portions of premium sockeye anywhere in the US with free shipping. (If that didnโt sell me, his P.S. about being a gin-and-tonic soulmate certainly did.) Anyway, Matt was nice enough to offer an exclusive Fatherโs Day giveaway contest for DALS readers: A 5-pound box of fillet portions, delivered right to one lucky winnerโs door. Thatโs 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!)

I know a dad or two that would love this!
My favorite way to grill salmon is with a ball of jalapeno butter on the top.
This looks great! I love salmon!
My husband would LOVE this gift!
Wow, that looks amazing. Will check out the site!
We love salmon!
I love this site so much. So much inspiration for dealing with the dinner hour, and now a fun contest to boot. Thanks Jenny!
Such a fun idea! Sounds delicious.
Would love to win this. I could eat salmon every day of the week!
We recently the discovered the kids were fans of salmon. This would be a great gift for all of us to enjoy.
What a great idea! My father-in-law almost went salmon fishing for a few weeks last year with a friend in Canada, but something got in the way. He would love this!
As another gin & Tonic lover, I had to comment. Q tonic (made without sugar!) has changed my life, thanks.
We love salmon โ we lived in Alaska a few years ago and still miss it.
What a great business idea to showcase! Best wishes for fisherman Matt.
Yum!!
Yum! And that sauce sounds amazing!
Salmon for dinner would be amazing! Thanks for the giveaway!
Oh my god. Sockeye from Alaska to my door? Too good to be true.
My dad would absolutely love this gift!!
This looks amazing!

Yum! Growing up in the Midwest we didnโt eat a lot of fish, so salmon is a new love for me!
I like free food delivered to my door. Iโm in!
