We'll email this post to you, so you can come back to it later!
Sushi Bake! What the heck is that?! Well, this unexpected, fun creation is an intermediary step to homemade sushi (which has a bit of a learning curve). It’s a cross between sushi and casserole. And we are totally here for it!
This sushi bake is freestyle, like dips, ice cream sundaes, and other casserole dishes. Once you understand the components, you can adjust the ingredients as you see fit.
However, this version from Danielle of Love From The Kitchen has nori sheets (dried seaweed sheets), canned salmon, sliced cucumbers, and sriracha mayo. We can’t wait to try it!

Citrusy Kale Salmon Salad
You will feel so good after eating this citrusy kale salmon salad from Mariska of My Chef’s Apron. It starts with chopped leafy dark green kale that you lovingly massage with olive oil until tender.
But next, you add the orange slices, fennel, parsley, canned salmon, and mozzarella before drizzling with uber-flavorful lemon, orange, and dijon dressing.

Dill Salmon Mousse
Even show-stopping dishes like this dill salmon mousse from Joss of In The Kitch uses canned salmon. Joss even ups the ante a bit by topping it with black caviar. But as impressive as this mousse is, it takes less than 20 minutes to make and requires a few common ingredients like cream cheese, white wine, lemon, canned salmon, and unflavored gelatin. Serve it with crackers or toast, and your holiday guests may never leave!

Salmon Avocado Salad Sandwich
Alisa of The Delicious Spoon recommends baked fresh salmon fillets for this salmon salad sandwich. But you can certainly use the wallet-friendlier canned stuff.
Along with salmon, the delicious sammie features nourishing ingredients like celery, green onion, greek yogurt, and creamy avocado. And dill and lemon juice bring loads of flavor. Serve it between slices of bread, as an open-face sandwich, or as a lettuce wrap, and you’ve got a healthy lunch to look forward to.

Korean BBQ Salmon Stir-Fry
Let’s see, with ingredients like rice (brown), salmon, broccoli, sesame seeds and oil, minced garlic, this Korean bbq stir fry from Rebecca will bring you Strength & Sunshine.
However, tastiness isn’t the only benefit here. Rebecca prudently recommends pouch salmon (you can use canned) and minute rice for a meal that’s as delicious as it is quick.
