I discussed my love for porterhouse steak before on my blog. Now I want to tell you why I love canned salmon.
Fresh salmon can be quite expensive to purchase and eat. Especially if you want to eat wild-caught salmon. And if you think buying it frozen will save you some money it usually won’t. I’ve found both fresh or frozen wild-caught salmon is pricey.
That’s where the canned version comes in to save your budget. And that’s why I love canned salmon. I can buy a can of the wild-caught fish for about $3.50 to $4.50 a can depending on the brand. Oh, there are some brands that sell it for over $6.00 a can buy I’m not sure why. Probably because of their name.
For this price you get a sizeable portion of the fish which you can eat straight out of the can, use it as a topping for a salad, mix it into a dip, or cook it in a recipe. The latter is what I like to do.
I grew up eating canned salmon formed into salmon patties. They are also called Salmon Croquettes. That’s the “fancy” version of my family’s patties. Basically it’s the canned salmon mixed with a couple of binders (usually an egg and flour) with salt and pepper. Some like to include diced onions while others put in green peppers. Whatever you like you can mix it, which is another reason I love canned salmon.
As I briefly discussed in the previous section you can use canned salmon in various types of recipes.
You can use it as a topping for salad to add in a great source of protein. Or you can eat it right out of the can. Yep, since the salmon is already cooked it makes a great item to take on camping trips. Just add some salt and pepper and you’re good to go!
If you’re looking for a Keto dip then mix cream cheese with salmon and add in your favorite seasonings. Eat it with some Keto-friendly crackers or pork rinds. For my Carnivore followers you can eat canned salmon right out of the can. This also goes for those on the Paleo Diet.
The final reason why I love canned salmon is because it is wild-caught salmon. Again, this is a pricey salmon to purchase in the store. Usually most people buy farmed salmon because it’s cheaper. Yet, it doesn’t include all of the nutrition that wild-caught salmon has. Plus, farmed salmon just doesn’t taste as good as wild-caught salmon. That final reason is a personal taste but it’s one important to me. You should eat what tastes good.
