Last week I was cruising the warehouse store and came across a multi-pack of canned salmon. Salmon is one of the best things you can eat, right? Omega-3's and all that. I tossed it in my cart and brought it home.
Now I am faced with how to eat it. I usually keep some canned tuna around and have several ways to prepare it. None of which involve may-yo-naise, I'm not a fan. The salmon is obviously much stronger than the tuna so none of my concoctions are working. This includes the ones that are mainly hot sauce.
The one that I've found to be tasty is mixing it with BBQ sauce. I'm thinking maybe a hoisin or plumb sauce would work as well.
Anyone else tried the canned salmon?

Hey, knock that shvt off. We're drinkin' here.
I often use 1 can of salmon and 3 cans of tuna mixed with whatever goods you like to make a quick and easy fish salad. I don't like mayo much, but use some in the salad along with mustard, celery, bell pepper, jalapeno, salt and pepper.
I find the mix of the two fishes results in a much nicer consistency with more complex flavor.
Salmon patties. Many recipes, but basically it boils down to this. Take some canned salmon and mix it with eggs, crackers (or oatmela), spices and whatever else (onions maybe). Form into patties and cook in a skillet until done. A variation of this is salmon loaf, which is made like regular meatloaf, except with salmon.
A simple party spread can be made with cream cheese (light or fat free, if you want it to be more healty), a little salt and pepper, some liquid smoke seasoning and the salmon. Blend it all together, add the liquid smoke to taste and spread on crackers, bagel crips, etc...
Red salmon is the good stuff, pink is sorta harsher and not as good. Generally you have to pick thru salmon to get the gross stuff out-the bigger bones, skin and gunk. One large can normal ready to eat soup size, and one half size can.
We do a sort of salmon loaf with lotsa green peppers and onions, egg and crackers for a body, spiced to suit. I use some garlic powder, salt and pepper.
In a sauce pan, we make a milk gravy and add in a bag (1 pound) of frozen peas, and salt and pepper, to serve on top of your salmon loaf.
Sorry, we don't use a recipe to do this.

I'm not a big salmon fan, so I try to cover the flavor up as much as possible when eating, even more so with canned. That being said I'm thinking like a eggs benedict except add a salmon hash into it. Fry up some diced potatoes with onion and peppers with salt and pepper and then mix in the salmon and serve over english muffins with eggs on top and a nice hollandaise sauce. Maybe an IPA on the side? Breakfast of champions. Definitely the salmon patties are a good one, classic childhood favorite, maybe it's barbaric but I loved 'em dipped in ketchup. Maybe a salmon hush puppy with corn meal and onions and spices, or some kind of a salmon dip?

I do this with instant mashed potatoes (we call them fish cakes), I use enough instant taters to make the mix a nice consistency that sticks together (usually add in a few spices, whatever strikes your fancy). Make patty-like shapes, coat them in beaten egg, and then roll them in bread crumbs. Fry in a pan until cooked through and enjoy

QFT. My wife makes some killer salmon cakes...like crabcakes, but with canned salmon! A little secret: add chopped pecans to the mix. The crunch is awesome, and the flavors are complementary.

IIWY, I'd not try this with canned salmon. Too damn fishy. I mean, I guess McK has tried it out, but I can't see doing much with canned salmon outside of salmon cakes.
Unless it's SMOKED canned salmon---which I just found the other day

Yeah, I probably should have clarified that pretty much every time I do this, it is with sport fished salmon that has been canned at home, vice the commercial product. Still, you can mask the flavor pretty damn well with some spices and seasonings and make a decent spread anyhow.
Thanks for the pecan idea Evan!, I think you might have just solved dinner for me tonight. (At least for the fish eaters in the house).
