My Premium Sitka Salmon Shares delivery arrived this month! Sitka Salmon Shares sent me frozen, sustainable Alaskan Cod (with a bonus piece of salmon) via no contact delivery to my doorstep!

Here’s how it works!
Each member receives a monthly share of their harvest – fish that’s in season and respects the limits of nature. Their fishermen catch their fish with lots of love, using low-impact gear that respects the ocean and its sea life.
They have shares in many shapes and sizes that come individually portioned, vacuum-sealed and blast-frozen to lock in that fresh-from-the-ocean taste.

Every month during fishing season, you get a box of wild-caught Alaskan seafood hand-delivered right to your door by one of their affable and well-mannered Sitka Salmon Stewards or our friends at Fed Ex.

Cod is such a versatile fish that I love to bake, batter dip and fry and even serve in soup!
For my Broccoli Red Pepper Pesto Cod I used jarred roasted red peppers, fresh broccoli and fresh basil.
You can serve this dish alone with just a side or salad. I like dishes like this cod over rice or pasta. I added some canned tomatoes to my rice for extra flavor.
Here’s the recipe! Enjoy!
