Oh, I actually have never seen canned salmon! Does it taste good?
Emily Leary says
Absolutely. Fresh is great, of course, but this is a great alternative when you need it, because it's prepared for you before being canned, and can be stored in the cupboard (rather than going off quickly in the fridge). We always have some to hand ready for speedy suppers. The kids love it!
Toni @ Gym Bunny Mummy says
We love salmon but never buy the tins as I remember my bra used to have to pick all the black bits & bones out. Looks like tinned fish has come a long way since then! The recipe looks fab
Emily Leary says
It really has! Thanks for dropping in :)
