Whether you’re looking for crispy edges, a golden sear, or just the fastest way to get dinner on the table, there’s a method below that can work for you. While you can bake, sauté, air fry, or broil this fish, broiling is our preferred cooking method for its fast, flavorful results.

Broiling Wild Alaska Pollock with Dockside Spice Blend

*PREFERRED METHOD* Broiling delivers crisp, golden edges and tender interiors — in under 5 minutes. It’s the ideal method for quick cuts of Wild Alaska Pollock, especially when you want maximum texture and flavor with minimal effort.

1. Position your oven rack to the top position, about 4–6 inches from the heat source. Set broiler to 500°F (or high).

2. Prepare a broiler-safe dish with cooking spray, then arrange the fish pieces in a single layer with a bit of space between each.

3. Broil for 4 minutes total, flipping halfway through. The fish is done when the edges are golden, it flakes easily with a fork, and the internal temperature reads 135°F.

4. Serve immediately.

Air Frying Wild Alaska Pollock with Dockside Spice Blend

Why air fry Wild Alaska Pollock? Air frying gives Wild Alaska Pollock a lightly crisped exterior and tender interior in minutes — with no preheating required for most models.

1. Preheat air fryer to 400°F.

2. Generously spray the air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

3. Arrange the fish pieces in a single, even layer, leaving a little space between each one for proper airflow and even browning.

4. Air fry for 5 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through. The fish is done when it flakes easily with a fork and the internal temperature reaches 135°F.

5. Let rest for 1 minute before serving.

Baking Wild Alaska Pollock with Dockside Spice Blend

Why bake Wild Alaska Pollock? Baking is a hands-off approach that works well if you're cooking several fillets at once. However, due to the lean nature of Wild Alaska Pollock, it's easy to overcook using this method — be sure to monitor closely to avoid drying it out.

1. Preheat oven to 350°F.

2. Remove the fish from the packaging and arrange on a prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

3. Bake for 8 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily with a fork.

4. Let rest for 2 to 3 minutes before serving to finish cooking gently and retain moisture.

Pan-Frying Wild Alaska Pollock with Dockside Spice Blend

Why pan-fry Wild Alaska Pollock? Pan-frying gives it a golden crust while keeping the inside tender — and takes just minutes. Perfect when you want maximum flavor with minimal time.

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of high-heat cooking oil in a stainless steel or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering (sizzling hot).

2. Place the fish pieces in the pan and cook undisturbed for 2 minutes.

3. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes, or until a golden crust forms and the fish flakes easily with a fork.

4. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.
