I love canned tuna but try to only eat one can a week because of mercury levels. I haven't tried canned salmon. I can see how it would make healthy, quick lunch options, though!

What do you guys think? Does canned salmon taste good? Is it nearly as good for you as fresh?

What do you make with canned salmon?

    My husband makes a salad and throws the salmon on top--just like with tuna.
    I make sandwiches (just like with tuna). I really like the taste better than tuna.
    Enjoy! :drinker: (lots of water)

    I have never tried it but was reading about it (someone posted a thread here about how many times a week can you eat salmon) Dr. Perricone makes it sound like a miracle drug lol! He did say to be sure to get the Alaskan wild salmon. I saw it at Costco yesterday and almost got it - maybe next time.

    We did have fresh Alaskan salmon for dinner last night - YUM!

    Great, thanks everyone! It's encouraging to know that I can use it just like tuna. The salmon cakes sound great - I will definitely have to try those!

    I will pick up a can at the store today.

    If you like Salmon, Canned Salmon is great.
    I am not a salmon person ( would rather have Halibut)!!!
    Why not try it and decide for yourself???
