    the bones are fine. They are very soft and mix right it. easy to crush and don't affect the taste at all. A guess a little extra calcium never hurt anyone.

    But I concur about getting a good brand.

    I love salmon cakes, and I've also made salmon quesadillas, they were really good! I tend to get the packets, but the chicken of the sea canned salmon is really not bad either.

    For the quesadillas, I just mix the salmon with monterey jack or cheddar cheese, and cook them in a frying pan. You can use low fat cheeses and margarine to oil the pan I'm sure.

    I pick out the bones and then rinse it in a collandar. Then, I squeeze the water out. Mix one can with 1-2 eggs. Form patties (small ones). I add a tiny bit of lemon juice, some salt and pepper, and dill weed. The dill makes it really good. Then I coat in cracker crumbs. I know that isn't the healthiest, but the rest of the recipe isn't too bad.

    I bake mine. Spray a cooking sheet with Pam, place the patties on it, and spray the tops of them with a little more Pam. Bake on 375 until turning brown and cooked.

    Kids love them. High protein low fat. And the canned salmon is cheap. I keep it on hand so if I need a back up dinner idea, I have one. This is a fast recipe, too.

    Makes a lovely sandwich - mix with a little mayo, add some finely chopped red onion and rocket leaves.

    Can also make a very nice salmon mousse (great as a starter with a side salad.

    I really enjoy it! What I like to do is make some fettuccine Alfredo and then add the (already cooked) can of salmon to that pasta, and when I have a little bit more cooking time available, I like to cook up some broccoli and throw that in as well. Top with some cheese and its fantastic (:

    Bread or chip crumbs sprinkled on top makes it even more tasty
