Hey – about the wild fish / farmed fish thing; so true! But, there’s also some really neat work going into aquaponics (growing veggies above the water and fish in the water to provide nutrients to the plants) that looks really promising, especially as the oceans are becoming smaller and more polluted. One researcher (can’t remember his name!!) is working on developing whole ecosystems so that salmon and krill (which give wild salmon their color and high vitamin D content) plus other fish will be raised together in a closed system. And the plants can be USDA certified organic! Exciting stuff

We had salmon melts tonight for dinner…EXCELLENT! We used wild red salmon, which I pureed in the Cuisinart to smoosh up the bones (yay calcium). I also finely chopped one carrot and one piece of celery. The rest was your recipe, though next time I wouldn’t bother with the salt. We used fontina cheese and brown rice tortillas with the salmon “spread” and got it warm and melted (the cheese, that is) on the George Foreman. A winner!

Thanks for the recipe. My kids, ages 1 and 3, are devouring their salmon melts as I type! (Ours are still in the oven.)

I know someone who make salmon patties, cooks them in a frying pan and serves them with creamed peas. You could have mashed potatoes or rice with them also.

that sounds awesome. this recipe has become a family favorite and a great way to use the tomato harvest. I’ve found the Aldi’s salmon is wild caught. I am trying to avoid the BPA can linings, but I don’t see or feel any plastic residue in these cans. If anyone else knows of products that do not use plastic-lined cans, I am open to hearing!

We make these very similarly but use mashed avocado instead of the mayo (for a kind of “avocado mayo.” Add a tad of lemon juice to it as well. Mix it all up and it is very delicious! The kids love it! I recommend trying that version as well! Thanks for all your recipes !
