Experience Alaskan heritage with an unforgettable evening at the Alaska Salmon Bake, an iconic eatery nestled in the historic Pioneer Park. Here, you’ll get a chance to enjoy a spectacular meal steeped in over 40 years of family tradition, under the golden light of the Midnight Sun. Founded in 1979 by Rick Winther, a fourth-generation Alaskan raised on fresh-caught fish and the rich flavors of generations-old recipes, the Salmon Bake is more than a dinner. It’s a celebration of Alaska’s soul, served one plate at a time.

Feast on wild-caught salmon grilled over an open alderwood fire, beer-battered cod, slow-roasted prime rib, and a spread of hearty sides. Meals here draw inspiration from the recipes of Rick’s mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. Save room for dessert, where new family creations like the Chocolate “Moose” and the beloved Strawberry-Rhubarb Compote bring a playful and delicious twist to the legacy.
