Salmon is just so incredibly healthy, that it is a bad idea for anybody to shun it from their diet.
When you add on top of the crucial Omega 3 fatty acids the fact that it has great taste and texture, you've got a winning combination: it seems like more and more people are agreeing with that, since it is ever more popular throughout the country and the world.
And, since it is practically impossible to get fresh fish in between seasons in most of the country, it's worth it to buy canned salmon.
Salmon in the can still has all that great flavor, and a pleasant texture, too, and there a ton of recipes using the canned variety that you can practice at home.
Try simply turning canned salmon into part of a finger-food appetizer lineup, by leaving it in small chunks alongside pieces of cheese, olives, dried tomatoes, and crackers.
This is an easy way to put it on the recipe for a large group of people, and it is a proven success at social events.
Another good way to match canned salmon with crackers as a kind of appetizer is by putting it into a dip with, say, mozzarella and Parmesan cheese, a little butter, bread crumbs, a splash of cream, and a touch of salt and pepper.
Just mix all the ingredients and add to a small baking dish and heat until the bread crumbs on top start to brown; another of the many recipes that will just blow the guests away.
Salads are always a good idea for canned salmon, since the meat is precooked and it's perfectly edible right out of the can.
In fact, cooking the fish for a long period will result in poor texture.
Try simply adding it to whatever kind of fresh salad you make.
One variety that works well is tossing it together with tomato, olives, basil leaves, romaine lettuce, cucumber, onion, and a touch of Parmesan cheese with a light olive oil/balsamic vinegar dressing.
With this, you'll have a winning recipe, as are most of the recipes using canned salmon!
