had a great snack in Sam's Club today

There was a lady giving out snacks, who had some canned salmon mixed with
Ranch dressing into a spread. It was absolutely delicious. I bet it
would go well on cucumber slices or on celery sticks.

I wish there was some way I could fix salmon so that I would
like it. It's just too....fishy : ) Any suggestions?

There's only one way I like salmon, and that's smoked.

That being said, I've seen tuna-size cans of salmon at Sam's Club that has
the skin and bones removed. That may help. I'm not sure, because I'm not
willing to try it. G

That may be a function of the salmon you buy, good salmon doesn't taste
fishy. The canned salmon at Costco is very mild and delicious, don't know
about Sam's Club, I never bought any there. I second the idea of using
Ranch dressing for fish, though. I make tuna salad with tuna, chopped
celery and Ranch dressing, serve it on Romaine lettuce leaves.

Marsha one of my favorite ways is to poach it.
Very tender and NON fishy tasting and nothing could be easier.

Be sure it is fresh from the store too.
It doesn't seem to store well, so buy it the day you plan to use it.

All you do is take a flat pan (with a lid), put water in it, slice a lemon
into the water add salt and a bayleaf, and perhaps a sprinkle of old bay
seasoning.

When the water comes to almost a boil, you lower the heat and add some
pieces of salmon filet (or salmon steaks).

You allow it to simmer VERY low flame for 10 minutes or so - just till it is
no longer red but cooked pink all the way through. Time depends on how
thick they are. Don't overcook and don't let the water actually boil
hard...... keep it just below a boil.

Remove with a slotted spoon and serve with a sauce made of mayonnaise mixed
with some mustard and lemon juice.

Yummy!

Ohhh, I love tuna. I'll have to try that!

Salmon is too fishy, but you love tuna? It's so funny how folks respond
differently to foods. I'm just the opposite from you. I can't stand
pre-cooked tuna because eating it makes me feel like a can of cat food for
the rest of the day.

Most of the tuna produced today IS cat food. Try StarKist solid white
albacore tuna. It's worlds better than the regular stuff. More expensive,
but worth it.

We get half of a salmon and put it on a cookie tray topped with butter
garlic and dill weed. Broil 4 minutes on each side. Incredible. My mother
who does not like salmon loves it this way.
