“I am always looking for quick meals that are healthy and delicious.

Until recently, I never considered seafood under the category of “quick.” Healthy and delicious, yes. But I’ve always thought of it as something that reserved for special occasions, like a birthday or holiday.

Then I learned that you can cook Alaska seafood directly from frozen. Cooking from frozen means I can have a meal that is high in protein, low in saturated fat and sodium and one of the best sources of heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids all in under 15 minutes.  How amazing is that?

Did you know that nearly 60% of all seafood in the U.S. comes from Alaska? The catch is preserved right after it leaves the icy water by rapidly chilling and then flash freezing well below zero. This process keeps Alaska seafood at the peak of freshness, with the very best quality, flavor, and nutrition. The environment in Alaska produces seafood with a firm texture, lean flesh, and superior flavor. With five species of salmon, several varieties of whitefish and numerous shellfish species, Alaska offers mouthwatering seafood options year round.
