I have two cans of Salmon in the pantry and really don't know how to fix them. Usually I would add an egg and some cornmeal and then fry it in the skillet, but I don't even want to know how many calories is in that. Any good ideas on how to use them and not blow my calories out of the water?

    I always mix it up like tuna with mayo but that probably isn't good either!

    I heat it up right out of the can and eat it with brown rice, or sometimes I add diced onion and fry it just a little in some olive oil and eat it with brown rice. I love canned salmon!

    I will mix it with light miracle whip or light ranch dressing - only about 2 TBL then have it with crackers or on bread like Tuna.

    Ingredients per 8oz of salmon:
    1 egg
    1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
    chopped onion and bell pepper(amount up to you)
    whatever seasoning you like

    Spray a skillet with the pump-style olive oil just to coat and cook it up! Should cook each side about 5 minutes or until salmon is not pink.

    I make salmon patties, too. I add 1 egg, some oatmeal, onion, seasonings of choice, and a little pickle relish. Once I added chopped slivered almonds and that was good, too. You don't have to remove skin or bones if you don't mind them, they are very good for you and meant to be eaten.
