Posty the can of salmon you use I want to know the brand. I don't like it, tastes (and smells) like cat food, so you must have a good brand. I know Alaskan in olive oil, but interested in brand.
THP I've never seen canned salmon in olive oil marketed, only processed in water. Lately I've been buying Kroger Brand which is sourced from BumbleBee which operates several canneries in Alaska. A while back I was buying WalMart branded pink salmon but quit doing so as the source is of dubious origin, i.e China. I get the Kroger stuff for cheapness, $2.79 for the 14oz can of pink.
THP maybe canned salmon just ain't your 'thang just as some folks don't avocados. I've been eating it most of my life. Of course I'd rather eat fresh salmon but with any fresh fish one has to know exactly what they are getting. I remember back in Las Vegas checking out some salmon at a Safeway that was being marketed as Copper River Sockeye and was being sold for around $19 bucks a pound if I recall. I noticed that the skin was pale and more orange and less red than typical sockeye and upon closer inspection could readily see from the skin markings and coloration that the salmon was clearly Chum. Unless silver bright right out of the river, chum salmon is typically poor quality at best. Also known as calico and dog salmon. The name "dog" salmon stems from the fact that when in spawn, chum salmon develop a massive kype with huge canine like teeth and also because chum was used often for dog food. Its that good! Back to the Safeway story...I pointed out to the seafood mgr. at the time that he was selling chum labeled as Copper River Sockeye and the dude as all apologetic n' sheeit and said he'd make the correction. I went back the next day and nothing had changed. I quit shopping at that store after that.
Somehow in the last dozen or so cans of pink I bought, a few cans of sockeye(red salmon) somehow got mixed in the lot.
These cakes were made with a whole 14oz. can of pink salmon, one egg, about 2/3 cup of uncooked rolled oats, garlic powder, dried dill, and 5 medium sized pickled jalapeno's minced to relish size.
Fried up in just a little bit of canola oil although I often use olive oil too, whichever bottle is closer to grab.
Lately I've been stuck on this funky 1000 style sauce binge. Minced jalapeno, mayo, and ketchup (tomato vinaigrette reduction)
Its tasty. Its healthy. You can't beat it for cheapness.
Goodern' hell.
