Try the Alaska Pure Alder Smoked Flake Sea Salt
I cooked some teriyaki salmon, and I wanted to give it a smoky BBQ flavor. Unfortunately, I can't BBQ inside my apartment, so I did the next best thing. I topped my salmon with Alaska Pure Alder Smoked Flake Sea Salt. I was amazed by the wonderful BBQ flavor. My salmon tasted so much better, and all I had to do was add some of this wonderful salt!
A beautiful grey salt adds allure and exotic notions to the table. Brought to us by the Alaska Pure Sea Salt Co. , this unique flake of a salt crystal is power packed with flavor, and the addition of the smoked element lends a note of the wild environment from whence it came. Pure water produces a pure salt, and the Micheners have discovered a way to bring us that purity. Hand crafted, the salt forms a hollow pyramid like flake that can be crushed, but is so gorgeous as a finishing salt. Think of ways to use it, you'll love it. And who doesn't need more "pure" in their diet?
I love cooking, and nothing makes my dishes taste better than great spices. The handmade sea salt from Alaska Pure Sea Salt Co. is no exception. This wonderful salt is pure and flavorful, offering many unique flavor options. I tried the Alder Smoke flakes on roasted chickpeas to add a wonderful smoked BBQ taste. This salt would be great on pork or salmon as well.
If you're looking for a simple way to add some excitement to your cuisine, look no further than Alaska Pure Sea Salt's Alder Smoked Flake Salt. Smoked over a natural, alder wood fire, this sea salt is literally bursting with flavor, and can be an exciting addition to many dishes. It works equally well on all kinds of meats, as well as veggies, eggs, and soup! I tried it out as a rim for a Bloody Mary, and I must say, it was bloody delicious! Highly recommended by this panelist!

Alaska Pure Sea Salt is handcrafted in Sitka, Alaska using sea water from the Gulf of Alaska - a pristine source second to none. Our salt making process took seven years to perfect. We enlisted the advice of three James Beard Award winning chefs before bringing it to market. The light delicate texture of the pyramidal flake brings a pleasing crunch when added to food and the flavor is gentle, not assertive. Alaska Pure Sea Salt finishes cleanly on the palate with absolutely no metallic or bitter aftertaste. Using Alaska waters to make the first finishing flake salt from the Americas makes our salt unique, but the flavor, texture, quality and consistency of Alaska Pure Sea Salt makes it outstanding.
Alaska Pure Alder Smoked Sea Salt is smoked over a natural Alder wood fire. Alder is the indigenous hardwood of the Pacific Northwest and it's smoke has been used to preserve salmon for thousands of years. We created this salt to pair with salmon and were pleased to find that it also enhances poultry, meats, vegetables and sweets. The smoked flavor speaks of a sense of place without making you feel like you've eaten a campfire.
Alaska Pure Sea Salt Co. started early one morning in April of 2000 in a remote Alaska cabin. While celebrating our first anniversary, we woke to find salt forming on the surface of a pan of sea water we’d left on the wood stove. We were intrigued.
Each spring, we return to the same cabin to celebrate the last year and plan for the next. One evening, while sitting by the campfire, we realized we could not resist this discovery and had to create more salt. We were committed.
Back home in Sitka, Alaska, we spent years lugging jugs of sea water up a steep harbor ramp. We survived backaches, headaches, and probably could have used some marriage counseling. We experimented, tested, and refined batch after batch. Finally, we created the right balance of science and artisanship that resulted in the perfect flake salt.
It didn’t take long to gain the support of some of the nation’s best chefs. We felt like proud beaming parents. Now, we are even more proud to offer it to you.
Alaska Pure Sea Salt is created with a passion for great food, wild places, the pristine Alaska waters and, of course, each other. We hope you enjoy our salt with as much enthusiasm and we have producing it.
