Get Ready For Better Eating With Canned Salmon Recipes

If you like natural, healthy food that is easy to prepare in just minutes, and is versatile enough to be eaten during any meal of the day, then it's time your eyes were opened to the world of canned salmon. Using tuna fish all the time to get a quick lunch or dinner fix can get boring, and isn't nearly as nutritious or delicious as Alaska canned salmon with its top freshness and flavor, and beneficial nutrients like Omega-3 fatty acids, calcium and magnesium. Get started with some great recipes for canned salmon.

If you are a tuna salad fan, kick it up a notch with one of the all time easiest recipes for canned salmon. Start with two cans of drained, canned salmon after removing the skin, then combine with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of plain yogurt, chopped celery, 2 tablespoons of capers, and black pepper to taste. Serve over a bed of lettuce for a fast, delicious, and nutritious lunch alternative to tuna salad again!

For recipes for canned salmon that will quickly become your summer grilling go-to, try Alaska Salmon Burgers. Begin with 2 cans of skinless, boneless salmon, drained, and mixed with a beaten egg, onion, bread crumbs, and barbeque sauce to taste. Form the mixture into about four patties, then bake in the oven or grill the salmon burgers brushed in oil about 5 minutes on each side. Serve on buns with the usual accouterments for burgers like lettuce, mayo, tomatoes and more!

If you're looking for a nutritious and delicious dinner dish, why not try pasta recipes for canned salmon like Penne Pasta with Alaska Salmon Cream Sauce. In a sauté pan mix together in oil garlic, dill, shallot, and two dashes of white wine. Cook the mixture for a few minutes, then add clam juice, liquid smoke, and a can of drained and flaked salmon. Toss together with several tablespoons of evaporated milk and cornstarch, cooked penne pasta, then season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve with some pieces of salmon on top for a tasty and delicious past entrée!

If you're entertaining tonight, why not whip up a top class appetizer in no time at all using Alaska canned salmon. Begin with a can of drained Alaska salmon, then mix together with a package of drained frozen or cooked fresh spinach, then add a cup of plain yogurt, a 1/2 cup of mayonnaise, a 1/2 cup of parsley, a 1/2 cup of green onions, 1/2 teaspoon of dry basil, a 1/2 teaspoon of tried dill weed, and about 1/4 teaspoon of grated lemon peel. Serve the dip chilled with chopped veggies, crackers, chips, or other delicious, dip-able treats!
