Anyone know what I can do with a spare tin of salmon I have, apart from having it in a sandwich??

    Salmon in a tin? Is that like tuna in a tin? Intriguiging :chin:

    If it is, unfortunatly I dig it (it as in tuna) mixed with miracle whip, pepper and celery in a grilled sandwich (thanks to the ever sexy katralla!) with cheese so I suck at ideas. If the mixture would go good with salmon, perhaps have it on crackers? (is that still too sandwichy :p)

    Oh no i love salmon but only ever had it in sandwiches so i dunno what to do with it, and i'm not really a big bread eater. On the other hand i do love toasty grilled sandwiches so i might try that with something.

    You could do a Salmon Salad.
    You know it is already cooked. You can leave in or take out the extra skin, bones, but mix with a little mayo, breaking up the pieces, and you could chop a red delicious apple with the skin left on, and mix into the salad. You would be surprised how sweet the apple tastes along side the salmon and how the red color of the apple is pleasing. You can add celery or anything else you like, but try this sometime. It is good in the summer when its is hot and you don't want to cook.

    Well I know someone that once did this Salmon Scramble.

    All you need is 1 tim of Salmon, 2 or 3 eggs, seasoning, you can also add what ever else you like. We used Pepper, Onion and Celery.

    Saute a pepper and an onion and a celery stalk and add the debonded salmon and the eggs. Swish it all around.

    You can also put it in over a bit and get it all hot.

    Tell us how you go.

    Thai Salmon Fish Cakes with Vegetable Stir-Fry & Mango Sauce

    Ingredients:
    half a 212g sachet instant mashed potato mix
    420g can pink salmon
    1-2 tsp Thai seven-spice seasoning, to taste
    flour
    115g lemon-and-pepper-flavoured breadcrumbs
    2 large eggs, beaten
    sunflower oil for frying
    For the sauce:
    1 pack fresh Thai herb mix
    425g can mango slices, drained
    salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
    320g pack fresh vegetable stir-fry, to serve
    Method:
    1. Pour 385ml boiling water into a large bowl, then add the potato mix, stirring all the time. Leave to stand for 1 minute, then beat thoroughly.

    2. Drain the salmon, then skin, bone and flake it. Add the salmon to the potato with the Thai seven-spice seasoning, salt and pepper. Divide the mixture into eight and shape into cakes with lightly floured hands.

    3. Spread out the breadcrumbs on a plate. Dip the fish cakes into the beaten eggs, then coat them in the crumbs.

    4. Pour enough oil into a frying pan to just cover the base. Heat gently, add the fish cakes and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side over a low heat until golden brown. (You may have to do this in batches). Keep the fish cakes warm.

    5. Take the Thai herb mix, deseed and finely chop the chilli and finely chop the lemon grass. Whizz together with the mango slices in a food processor until smooth, then press through a fine sieve. Finely chop the coriander and add to the sauce. Cook the fresh vegetable stir-fry.

    6. Serve the fish cakes, topped with the sauce, on a bed of stir-fried vegetables.

    Oh wow sounds like you eat alot of salmon!!
    On top of pizza sounds nice as well. I know so many things to do with tuna but salmon's different so i'm unsure if any of em will work or taste nice. Bear in mind here I am a poor student and also dont really cook anything new unless its really simple.
    Ta for all the ideas tho, theyll come in useful.

    Oh yea Simba, the salmon comes with bones in but theyre easy to pick out if ya dont wanna eat them and its not gross or anything. Not sure if you can buy it without tho.
