How to cook salmon in a can? Cooking salmon in a can comes to mind when I want something quick to make.

With a few basic ingredients, the flavor of salmon is enhanced. There are a few easy ways I prepare salmon in a can. If I can avail of  wild caught sockeye or red salmon, I prefer to use that.

This simple recipe is easy, quick and delicious. A go-to after a vacation,  a long day at work or just plain lazy.

How to Cook Salmon in a Can is quick and easy.

If you’ve been following my blog, Filipinos usually cook everything fresh from scratch. Also, if you have noticed, we love to saute with onion, garlic and tomato. These 3 ingredients and ginger are almost always used in our cooking.

There are a few canned goods that are staple to Filipinos.

When we were growing up, my mom would stock up on canned sardines, corn beef, spam, and salmon ( I cannot think of anything else since everything was made fresh).

These canned goods are usually for emergencies like a typhoon, brownout or for a quick bite.

Cooking salmon in a can with onion, garlic and tomato is Today's Delight

When my mom opens up a can of salmon, it was sautéed in onion, garlic and tomatoes. It is simmered for a few minutes and seasoned with fish sauce or salt.

Rice and salmon drizzled with its sauce and fish sauce is so good.

It is a simple recipe but scrumptious especially if I haven’t had it for a while. One thing I like about it, it doesn’t taste or smell fishy at all.

Another easy way I like preparing salmon in a can is serving it right out of the can. In a small bow, mix vinegar, chopped red onions and salt. Drizzle salmon with the vinegar mixture and it’s yummy!

If you find yourself in the grocery aisle and cannot think of anything quick to make, try this recipe you’ll love it.
