I really want to make a salmon dish this weekend, but I'm not sure how to do anything but salmon patties...Any suggestions?

    Hands down the best thing with canned is in the patty form, just change up the seasonings. we have made a "salmon loaf" before as well.You can also use it in a salmon salad for sandwiches, or a cracker spread. Here we have a lot of salmon in the summer so canning it is one of the ways we preserve it, besides freezing it. It keeps longer than freezing and I refuse to pay store prices for fresh salmon.

    I use it for anything I'd use canned tuna for...not a big fan of canned tuna but canned salmon is ok.

    I make chowders and bisque or make salmon burgers (need other stuff) or a salmon and noodle casserole, etc...

    Throw it away and get fresh salmon for the grill.

    False!!! I would take wild and canned over farmed and "fresh" any day of the week. Form into patties and sear in a pan or just toss into a salad. Delish!!!!

    What about wild caught and frozen...actually I'm having that tonight...but yeah, I don't really like farmed salmon.

    Living in the desert, I always assume "fresh" just means that it was frozen while still fresh on the boat...there's not such thing as actual "fresh" fish where I live unless you're trout fishing in the mountains.

    Tip it straight down the toilet and cut out the middleman. Doesn't save much time, mind. Not for me, anyhow :(

    I challange you to walk into a store today and buy me a piece of fresh, not farmed, not frozen salmon. Go. If you do, $100 on your way. I am serious.

    I always have wild salmon in my freezer for the year. I bought enough when Costco starts selling it from Memorial Weekend until after Labor Day.

    I hate that "farm" stuff and would rather do without if I cannot buy wild salmon.

    Also Wholefoods sells fresh salmon as fresh as it can be.

    I did, actually. I made salmon patties with green peppers and chives. They were really tasty! Thanks everyone for the helpful, and not-so-helpful, responses :)

    oooh how did you make them??
