PANTRY PICKS: Salmon loaf

RECIPES3 comments

Canned salmon is an excellent and economic source of protein. It is a must have in my pantry for its versatility and ease of preparation. I know canned tuna is more popular because it doesn’t get packed with bones or skin. You can do one of two things to deal with the less desirable bits. Mash it all together, when mixed into recipes the skin and bone virtually disappear and will go undetected. I want to get the most bang for my buck and cash in on the extra nutrition those bits provide. The other choice is to pick it out. Whatever you choose, pull out that can of salmon from your pantry and make it part of your next meal.
