What it is
This is a small, convenient can of cooked red salmon. The salmon is packed in water, which helps preserve its natural taste and texture. It is ready to eat straight from the can, making it a quick and easy addition to meals. The portion size is suitable for individual servings or as a component in a larger dish.
How people cook with it

To use, simply drain the can of water. You can then flake the salmon with a fork and incorporate it into your chosen recipe. For salmon patties, mix the flaked salmon with breadcrumbs, egg, and seasonings before forming and cooking.

How it differs from similar foods
Red salmon, compared to pink salmon, typically has a richer flavor and a firmer texture. It also tends to have a deeper pink or red color. This difference in flavor and texture can make it a preferred choice for dishes where the salmon is a prominent ingredient.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused salmon to a sealed container and refrigerate. It should be consumed within two to three days. Store unopened cans in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
