I have a can of salmon that I need to use. Any good ideas that I can make and then refrigerate for lunch tomorrow? No salmon patties please

    I like salmon in a salad with sushi rice, chopped cucumber, chopped bell pepper, shaved carrots, greens if I have them in the fridge, toasted sesame seeds and a dressing comprising sesame oil, mirin, soy and rice vinegar. It's actually quite nice warm, too.

    salmon cakes...I guess that's a patty, but there's a whole lot more to it and salmon cakes are delicious

    use it the same way you'd use canned tuna...salmon salad for a sandwich or you could mix it into a quinoa or couscous salad or something.

    Salmon patties. Or croquettes. Or cakes. Whatever people call them. Super simple and YUMMY. I think the basic recipes is just breadcrumbs, onion, salmon, and an egg. Then you either fry them or bake them. But I usually add all the leftover greens I have in my fridge and it adds great flavor and color.

    If you like tuna salad you could just make it using a can of salmon. Actually any recipe that calls for canned tuna would do...just use salmon instead. It would change the taste somewhat but should work just fine.

    I do a low cal tuna noodle casserole that I think salmon would be a good replacement.

    I've made salmon salad the same way I do tuna, and eat it with crackers.

    I also sometimes just grab a fork and eat the salmon plain out of the can, with crackers and cheese on the side (this works for the small cans, like tuna … not so great for the big soup-sized ones :wink:)

    Add mayo (or equivalent) and capers (or green olives) and wrap in large lettuce leaves!

    Celery, mayo and corn with just a touch of whole grain or Dijon mustard and cracked pepper. The salt is in the fish and mayo. These days I would probably top with toasted pecans or pepitas.

    Oh, you can make salmon patties! Just kidding. I buy it to put in salad. I make one with spinach, salmon, avocado, tomato and honey mustard dressing (usually Newman's Own lite honey mustard).

    Canned salmon is cat food in my house, not people food. :bigsmile:

    I eat it with fresh lemon juice and a little pepper, lots of veggies (the green giant bricks are great) on the side

    What aisle are the 'green giant bricks' in? Can I build a house that the big bad wolf cannot blow down with those bricks?

    my faves (besides the delicious salmon patty. i love the patty with quinoa and steamed veggies):
    salmon tacos (with soft corn tacos, shredded cabbage, chilis, squirt of lime juice, pico de gallo)
    salmon salad (the same you would do with tuna)

    Just recently tried this recipe. Very healthy. Very very easy. Very very very delicious!

    Salmon Burgers
    1 12-ounce can wild Alaskan salmon, drained
    2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    1 large egg
    1/2 chopped onion
    Juice of 1/2 lemon
    1 tablespoon almond flour
    2 tablespoons chopped parsley
    1 tablespoon coconut oil
    Mix salmon, Dijon mustard, egg, onions, flour, and lemon together in a bowl. Season with parsley and pepper. Shape mixture into 4 small burgers.
    Heat coconut oil in large skillet over medium heat. Add burgers and sauté in a pan for 4 minutes each side, or bake in oven for 15 minutes at 350 °F.
    Serve with a light green salad.

    give it to a homeless shelter.... Salmon is only good fresh and preferably raw.
