canned salmon

[mommy212]

okay ladies, I need something new to do with canned salmon. I have some on hand but am sick of my usual. Any ideas?

[Alyantavid]

All I ever do with canned salmon is salmon cakes.

Dh makes a salmon salad with it for sandwiches.

This is how I make Salmon Croquettes:
Mix one egg with one piece of diced toast.
Drain one can of salmon and flake it and the mix it with the egg mixture.
Add 1 TBS Dijon mustard and 1 TBS Worchester or tamari sauce.
Mix well, crushing the toast and the salmon bones with a fork.
Form in patties and fry in a little oil until golden.

I googled and so far the best I've come up with is this salmon salad, aside from the usual croquettes/patties.

Anyone have a stellar pasta salad recipe using canned salmon?

I use it interchangeably with tuna, so think tuna casserole, salade nicoise, etc.

burgers- adding celery, onion, a bit of starch of some kind, seasoning.

Yes this. I made this recently and it went so well. The recipe called for egg and bread crumb, but we are allergic to those so I left it out and just put in some cooked quinoa. Oh so good! Lots of garlic was a must.

Add it to pasta with marinara sauce!

My kids like it in macaroni and cheese with broccoli or peas (pretty easy) or make a salad with it (add mayo, mustard, onion, dill, capers or pickles) and put it on toast and melt cheese on it.

A friend of mine makes an excellent salad with chopped cabbage, celery, onions, olives, mayo and canned salmon.

The website www.alaskaseafood.org has some great recipes too

Are you still looking for ideas? We eat a lot of salmon salad with canned salmon! Like tuna salad but with salmon. We love adding mayo, diced apples, and avocado, sometimes a little hot sauce. Mmmm. It's especially good as a sandwich.

We just made a potato croquettes recipe from the Joy of cooking and stirred in some canned salmon. Basically leftover mashed potatoes and eggs, some onion greens, and the salmon, then coat the patties in a bit of arrowroot and sesame seeds and saute til warmed. Yum!

I make a salmon dip/spread. Add one can or pouch of salmon to a brick of cream cheese. Add in some chopped onion or dried onion, with garlic powder, a little salt and pepper, and some Italian seasoning. You could add any herbs or spices you want, really. Put in the fridge for at least an hour. Spread on crackers or scoop with veggies. It's always a party hit!

I keep meaning to make this recipe and I have not yet

I've made it into salmon burgers once or twice (actually, that's a good idea... maybe I'll have to put them on my menu for this coming week! , otherwise we too mostly use it in place of canned tuna.

I make quiche! It's yummy, even my friends who don't care for canned fish like this one.

1 c flour (whole wheat works great)
2/3c shredded sharp Cheddar
1/4c chopped almonds
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp paprika
1/4 c plus 2 tbsp oil
3 eggs, beaten
8 oz sour cream
1/4 c mayo
1/2 c shredded sharp Cheddar
1 tbsp grated onion
1/4 tsp dill
3 drops Tabasco

1 can (15.5 oz) salmon, undrained.

Combine the first 6 ingredients to make the crust. Reserve half a cup for topping. Press the remainder into a 9-inch quiche dish or random pie plate or whatever and bake at 400 for 10 minutes. Set crust aside and reduce heat to 325.

Combine eggs and next 6 ingredients. Drain salmon liquid into a measuring cup, add water to make 1/2 c and add to egg mixture. Add flaked salmon. (original recipe says to discard bones and skin. I crush the bones and mix them in along with the skin) Spoon into crust, top with reserved crust crumbles, bake at 325 for 45 minutes.

I never follow this recipe exactly. I substitute yogurt (or milk curdled with lemon juice) for the sour cream, use about half a cup of sauteed chopped onions instead of grated ones, add herbs and spring onions to taste, omit the salt and increase the paprika. It cooks reasonably well crust-less in a small dish if you have leftover batter or want to reduce carbs. You will need to grease & flour the dish if you want it to slice nicely without a crust.
