Salmon season canceled? These are the best canned fish options — and the ones to avoid

Yikes, talk about an un-tasty tasting. The idea of opening a can of salmon and enjoying a bite of luscious, flavorful pink or red salmon sounds so very enticing. Warning: It is not. Sadly, most canned salmon is smelly — and tastes like low-quality tuna.
The good news is that in these wildly inflationary times, canned salmon is not only less expensive than fresh, it can find culinary redemption. Rinse and drain the fish, then toss it with fish-friendly ingredients such as onion, garlic, dill, lemon and more, and it can become a fine burger, a tasty addition to salad or pasta, or a tasty sandwich filling. The result is not only flavorful, but high in protein and omega-3 — minus the high toxin levels found in tuna.
