Friday’s Last Spoonful: Canned Salmon

Catch it out of the can
Canned salmon has its advantages over fresh salmon. The canned varieties are sockeye, king, and pink. Consumers can count on canned salmon all year long if fresh salmon is not available. There is very little compromise regarding nutritional value with canned salmon. It’s still a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. Expect to pay a premium for canned “wild salmon,” which is always noted on the can’s label. Use canned salmon if you have issues with food safety and the handling of fresh fish during cooking preparation.

Helpful Hint: If you like canned tuna, try canned salmon instead for a change that increases the amount of omega-3 intake.
