Alderwood-fired Alaska salmon · Anchorage
Alderwood-fired salmon is Glacier BrewHouse's signature plate: a sockeye or king fillet finished on a wood-burning grill over alder, the canonical Alaska smoke wood.
Glacier BrewHouse opened in 1996 on West 5th Avenue with an alderwood-fired kitchen as its hallmark. Alder is the Pacific Northwest and Alaska traditional smoke wood for salmon; the technique echoes both Indigenous and 19th-century commercial smokehouses. The brewpub side gives it a wood-and-hops note unique in Anchorage.
