bought some canned salmon, never had it before
what's the best way to use this?
I was thinking of making a glaze and searing it a bit in a pan and putting it on top of rice with some sesame and green onions
is that the right direction for a can of salmon?

There's nothing really to do with canned seafood anon besides maybe stews

It's like putting lipstick on a pig

That does sound good, but I feel it's too close to a tuna sandwich, at which point I should have just bought tuna, desu.

>> No.17884711

unless it's super fresh, canned salmon takes on such a metallic flavor that it basically tastes exactly like canned tuna a lot of the time.

It's good protein and omega 3, but there's not much you can do with it except mix it with mayo and do a sandwich, put it on crackers, or maybe add some bread crumbs and make salmon cakes

>>17884711
Darn. That's not the worst thing in the world I guess, but given how different fresh salmon/tuna are, I was imagining a similar difference in the canned version.

Have to heavily spice it imo. I do cayanne and toasted mustard seeds

If you have a good potato and egg salad recipe make that and add the canned salmon. I've even bought supermarket potato & egg salad and added salmon to that and it was pretty good. Btw be advised when you take the salmon out of the can it'll be like staring into the face of Azathoth, but it tastes fine. You can remove the bones and skin if you like but you don't have to. The bones are soft enough to eat.

There's a recipe on my can for salmon cakes. But I feel like that's leaving a lot on the table. Or maybe it's not, but it seems like it.

I know it sounds gross and isn't the best way to get there, but a can of salmon in jambalaya or gumbo is a decent way to get the seafood taste.

>> No.17884908

>>17884750
the salmon gets cooked down prior to canning so it loses all its fat. at that point, it really isn't that different from tuna.

>> No.17884911

>>17884904
fpbp mentioned canned salmon in stews, so it doesn't actually sound that bad, desu. It does seem interesting to use salmon in a southern dish where salmon historically wasn't used.

I'm from the northern midwest, so sloppy, cheap meats and or canned meats/veg were the norm in our hotdishes. I bet it'd be pretty fucking comfy to add this can of salmon into a gumbo.

The size can in ops pic usually has bones and skin in it. If you get the tuna can sized ones or the mylar packets of salmon it usually doesn't but is more expensive.

Make fish cakes.
Cook some potato and mash it up, add some spring onion, garlic, parsley, salmon, salt, pepper, curry powder, a raw egg. Then stir it all up and make cakes, then roll in breadcrumbs and fry in butter and/or oil. Have with a salad and a squeeze of lemon juice.

cold smoked canned salmon is as good as you were thinking, if you get the good stuff. I recommend Cole's

Used to have salmon cakes made with this a lot as a kid, always with a side of golden hominy. It's somewhat of a comfort meal for me.
