That's what I had for lunch(es) today! Sounds better with your extra spices. Normally I just do the mayo. Today added some chopped bell peppers and green onion. Sometimes sprinkle sesame seeds in too.

I like to wrap it up in sushi nori and eat it like a roll.

Good idea with the sesame seeds! Those would go great with the soy sauce.

Nice idea for some added flavor. I usually just end up with pickle and mayo for my salmon salad.

I've been using the salmon in a pouch instead of canned. It seems to have better texture and you don't have to pick out the skin and bones. The sodium content is a bit of a concern, though.

Mmmm that looks really good. I'll be mixing some up this weekend.

What's wrong with the skin and bones. :p

I'll save mine and send them to you, Dave. Enjoy!

I like the skin and bones in patties, but not in a salad.

Thanks, Bill. I'll PM you my address!

I think the skin adds such nice color to the salad...

bones add a little crunch

Bones are probably good for you, but not 'good enough' to eat 'm if you don't like them. Costco canned salmon is probably the best from an aesthetic point of view, tastes OK too.

Had a friend on the state fish promotion board or whatever it was called. Always asked her why tuna usually looked better in a can than salmon did, most people were turned off by the skin and bones.
