Doesn anyone have a really good recipe for a 1-dish meal using canned salmon? Maybe a souffle or

just a casserole.

My mom used to make one for us for lunch, with a mushroom sauce... but it was too boring.

I need something for nights when I forget to take something out of the freezer. (Like tonight)

got the one that you posted a while back Ruth, but maybe something with more kick to it. H likes kick.

Please and thank you.

 
Salmon Fettuccine...may not have enough kick to it. I got it out of an ad for Honey Boy salmon

SALMON FETTUCCINE

1 can (14 3/4 ounce) Honey Boy Alaskan Salmon
6 Tablespoons butter
3 Tablespoons flour
4 cups hot milk
3 Tablespoons Sherry
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/3 cup sliced green onions
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon-style mustard
1 1/2 teaspoons dill weed
Black pepper, to taste
1 lb. fettuccine noodles
1 Tablespoon chopped parsley

Drain and flake salmon. Set aside. Melt butter in large saucepan over medium heat. Remove from heat and whisk in flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes. Whisk in milk and Sherry; cook, stirring frequently, for 15 minutes. Stir in flaked salmon and remaining ingredients except fettuccine and parsley; cook 2-3 more minutes, until heated through. Meanwhile, cook pasta according to package directions; drain and toss with sauce. Sprinkle with parsley to serve. Serves 4.

 
Rec: Crispy Salmon Cakes With Lemon- Caper Mayonnaise...I haven't made but intend to, looks as

though it might have a bit of a kick. However, it's not a one dish meal, unless you served it atop salad as one reviewer mentioned. I'd make it the way the poster did, instead of the original.

REC: T&T Salmon Shell Casserole from The New York Times...

I've lugged this recipe around with me for forty years, since it first appeared in the NY Times.

8 ounces shell macaroni
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup minced onion
1/4 cup minced parsley
1/3 cup flour
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
3 cups milk
1 cup shredded sharp cheese
2 Tbs. chopped pimento
1 seven ounce can salmon, drained and flaked
Buttered bread crumbs

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cook the macaroni in boiling salted water until just tender, about seven minutes. Drain.
3. Meanwhile, melt the butter, add the onion and parsley, and cook for five minutes. Stir in the flour, salt and pepper. Gradually stir in the milk and cook, stirring, until thickened. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Add the pimento and salmon.
4. Mix the macaroni with the salmon mixture and place in a greased two-quart casserole. Top with buttered bread crumbs and bake until browned on top, about twenty-five minutes.

Yield: four servings.

Not much kick, but great when you need a pantry quickie! Maybe someone else can spice it up?

 
I love the sherry and dill in this recipe. Maybe that's enough for a different kick?

 
I used fresh dill, more of it. The recipe is so old that I'm pretty sure they're referring to dried

 
Thanks Marianne. I'm going to take your advice at the bottom and have

a 'brandy' and call myself a chef.

I should have mentioned that H doesn't want to eat pasta. I love it and could eat it every day. But I'm going to use the ingredients for another time without pasta.

Done. That was an interesting site you directed me to. I liked the ability to convert in several

ways.

Made the patties. They were good and an ideal way to make a meal from the pantry rather than the freezer. As always, a recipe is just a suggestion for me but a perfect incentor. I added some wasabi for just a bit more kick and was surprised that I added mustard to round out the flavours more. And I liked the crispiness of the crackers (I improvised again) on the outside. That worked well.

Thank you again Curious.

 
Probably too late, but a trick I've been doing for years with canned salmon cakes

is to add a couple dashes of liquid smoke and pretend they're smoked salmon cakes. It's actually pretty good.

Also have a hot dilled cucumber side dish that goes great with the canned smoked salmon cakes if you're interested.

 
hmmmm. Hot cucumbers, eh? Well, I guess that sounds intriguing. Adding

smoke is a great idea. Didn't occur to me although I add it to every BBQ sauce that doesn't appeal to me.

 
Good one. I added that to my recipe box. Odd, there's no egg in it. I increased the egg in the

Curious recipe and the texture was perfect and the ptty easy to handle.

 
I don't have the recipe here with me, but it's fairly simple

peel the cucumbers, halve, scoop out the seeds, slice. Saute in butter and olive oil. Sprinkle on dill and chives at the end of cooking. S&P to taste.

Optional variations.

add any of the following while sauteeing:

minced garlic
chopped green onion
chopped red onion
minced basil (or use as garnish)

The smoked salmon cakes and sauteed cucumbers go really well with freshly creamed spring peas and rich butterbits, horns, or crescent rolls.
