Food Storage Item- Salmon

Welcome to another Food Storage Item Series

Salmon is a great food storage item but if you are like me you don't have a whole lot of recipes other than Salmon Patties like your Mom used to make.

So I searched a found a few good recipes I wanted to share with you.

ALASKA SALMON AND BROCCOLI-CHEESE PASTA

2 packages (4.8 oz. each) pasta with four-cheese sauce
1/2 cup fat-free milk
1 package (10 oz.) frozen chopped broccoli
1 can (14.75 oz.) or 2 cans (7.5 oz. each) traditional pack salmon OR 2 cans or pouches (6 to 7.1 oz. each) skinless, boneless salmon, drained and chunked
1 teaspoon lemon pepper seasoning

~In large saucepan, prepare packaged pasta according to low-fat directions, stirring in an additional 1/2 cup milk.

~Microwave broccoli on HIGH for 3 minutes, rotating occasionally and pulling apart to thaw.

During the last 3 minutes of pasta cook time, blend in broccoli, salmon, and lemon pepper seasoning, heat through.

Or a quick and easy variation that I thought of was this:

I store pre packaged rice mixes, Broccoli and Cheese being a favorite.
Mix a can of Salmon with prepared Rice Mix
