In our ranking of the best new Costco releases in 2026, a certain store-brand freezer find really caught shoppers’ attention. Kirkland Signature Atlantic Blackened Salmon comes with six seasoned fillets and costs $25.69 per package. Customers have publicly declared their affinity for frozen fish.
According to online buzz, blackened salmon is preparing to become a Costco staple. “This is going to become a staple in my pantry,” one customer said in a website review. On Reddit, one shopper said: “Kirkland Blackened Atlantic Salmon is amazing! » One commenter on the thread agreed, saying, “Tons of flavor and lots of juice. Rice made with it for a complete meal. Would definitely buy again.”
How to Make a Meal With Costco’s Popular Salmon (Cooking Tips & Pairings)
According to package directions, Kirkland Signature Atlantic Blackened Salmon is best when cooked in a conventional oven. The instructions also recommend letting the fillets thaw in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours (although you can also cook them right out of the freezer). To ensure your baked salmon is perfectly moist every time, remove it from the oven a bit before it reaches the safe internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit. The fish continues to cook out of the oven, so removing it from the heat a little earlier reduces the chances of dry salmon disrupting your dinner. Use a food thermometer to determine when the salmon is ready to eat, then dig in.
If you’re considering pairings, opt for simple side dishes that allow the fish’s blackened seasoning to shine. A simple roasted asparagus recipe works wonderfully here, and lemon rice (white rice infused with lemon juice and zest) will add some acidity to the meal. You can also serve the fillets over a quick and healthy salad with lettuce, avocado, red onions, feta cheese and a tangy citrus vinaigrette.
