CAnned SALMON SALAD COOKING NOTES

For variation, I generally serve it inside an avocado half (like stuffed avocados) or over shredded lettuce or child spinach. It’s also possible to dish it up with some rice, quinoa, candy potatoes for additional carbohydrates. 

You need to use any kind of canned fish right here however go for the oily sort to get all these omega-3’s: salmon, tuna, sardines, mackerel. As we add our personal dressing, I counsel utilizing unflavored fish in brine or olive oil (relying in your calorie wants). 

Ought to I take out bones from canned salmon? That is non-compulsory, a few of the bones are very small and it’s positive to depart these in as they may get mashed up and also you received’t discover them. The bigger backbone bones will get combined in however they’re a bit crunchier, so if that bothers you, take them out. One factor to notice is that the bones in a can of salmon are the primary supply of calcium (and some different minerals) so I at all times go away the small ones in. They actually received’t hurt you in any approach.
