Re: What to do with Canned Salmon...
 

Lordy, I grew up on this recipe (minus maybe the dill and lemon). Mom called it salmon croquettes, and fixed it every couple of weeks. It was po' food, back from when salmon was dead cheap.

also salmon sandwiches:

take salmon and put in a bowl, mix with 1 or 2 table spoons of mayo [or until slightly creamy], add some chopped scallions. Spread on bread [best if toasted]. Delish.

My wife loves the salmon cakes....I just feed the cat.

Now give me fresh salmon and it's time to chow down!

Will give the orange almond stirfry a shot sounds good!

Thanks JadziaDax

I'll let you know if I try one of these. I only have one jar of salmon.

Fish cakes.

My Mum used to make the best.

Thanks for the variation.
