Throw it away and get fresh salmon for the grill.10

You can make salmon salad any way that you would make tuna salad - mayo, oil, or avocado-based.
Add some salmon, tomato, and cream cheese or avocado and green onions as the filling to an omelette
Add cannelini beans, kale, and tomato sauce - eat on pasta or toast
Casseroles or dips
I mostly use it for salmon patties and burgers, but I add a lot of different seasonings. I like to chop up jalapenos and get them in there. They freeze well too.7 -
I make salmon cakes. Food network has really good salmon cake recipes8

I'd toss half on a bit salad.
I definitely would NOT throw it away. Canned salmon is very versatile.10 -
Mix it with cream cheese and herbs. Add some chopped veggies (maybe cucumber). Spread it on a tortilla and roll it up. Very tasty!10

We do salmon chowder with it. I think this is the recipe or a variant of what we use.

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.2

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...1 -

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.3 -
Tip it straight down the toilet and cut out the middleman. Doesn't save much time, mind. Not for me, anyhow0

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.2 -

OP did you make a salmon dish yet with that canned salmon?0

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, responses9

Here's the recipe, if you want it
Ingredients
2 6 oz cans salmon
2 teaspoons Old Bay seasoning (I personally just added sprinkles of paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and onion powder)
2 eggs
2 Tbsps mayo (I used light)
3/4 cup panko crumbs
1 small green pepper, finely chopped
2 Tbsps chopped fresh chives
light olive oil for pan (I used Pam spray and about 2 Tbsps of oil)
Directions
In a large bowl, combine all ingredients until mixed well. Form into 6-8 patties.
Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat. Drizzle oil and spread evenly. Gently place the first patty in the pan and cook for about 2-3 minutes, until golden brown. Carefully flip and cook other side for 3-4 minutes.
They're really easy and tasty. I crumbled some of the leftover patties into my salads for the week

Sounds delicious, canned fish is a staple in our household! Delicious, versatile and cheap. Not everyone can afford to buy fresh fish!7
