Alaska Pure Sea Salt Company
Producing a high-quality and delicious product, Alaska Pure Sea Salt is well established and well loved by their customer base. With the onset of the Covid-19 pandemic and losing summer visitor traffic to Sitka, it was vital to reach and engage with their past and current customers from afar. Through rebuilding their website and online store, creating a recipe blog, and connecting with customers via email campaigns, not only was Alaska Pure Sea Salt Company able to maintain operations but also grow online.

DIRECTIONS
Prep outdoor grill - you will want medium heat
In a small bowl whisk together Brown Sugar, Melted Butter, Garlic, 1/2 tsp ALASKA PURE ALDER SMOKE SEA SALT (reserving the rest for finishing after grilling), pepper and Soy to make glaze
Place Salmon in heavy foil, rub Brown Sugar Glaze into salmon, then drizzle with honey
Fold or roll up all sides of foil around salmon to make a boat
Grill Salmon until glaze bubbles and Salmon is just opaque and starts to flake, 6 - 10 minutes depending on grill.
Remove from grill and sprinkle with the remaining salt and chopped chives, plate with lemons for garnish or squeeze on at table, let salmon rest 5 minutes before serving
