- Guys, in today's video,
we're going to make a canned salmon salad.
It's super easy. It's going to give you so many options.
Like you can stuff a pita with it.
I'm going to show you how I use it inside of a wrap,
but why I love it is because canned salmon
is inexpensive and it's a great source of protein
and I honestly just love it because
there is some cumin in there.
It's so good. Let's make this.
In this bowl, I'm going to mix
two cans of boneless, skinless salmon.
One reason some people complain about canned salmon
is that they are buying the canned salmon
that has all the bones and skin still on.
So make sure you look for boneless skinless,
that's also a good hint.
It is less fishy-tasting than tuna,
but it has a lot of nutritional benefits,
so I really enjoy making, using canned salmon.
To my canned salmon. I'm going to add some mayo.
I'm going to add some lemon juice,
and I'm first going to mix it up a little
and then add the rest of the ingredients.
Now what's awesome about making this canned salmon salad
is that you can make it ahead of time, you can meal prep.
It's easy to last a couple of days in the fridge,
so you can use it as-is to top a green salad
or in wraps, in sandwiches.
Meal prepping is definitely a great way to eat well
and save time, and I even have an entire video for you
on how to meal prep your lunches,
so you can have healthy lunches ready to go.
I'm going to make sure to link that right below this video,
as well as my meal prep ebook.
So if you wanna eat healthy and you want to prep meals
ahead of time, or maybe make yourself one meal
and then divide that into individual containers,
everything you need to know
is in that meal prep ebook for you.
Now that our canned salmon pieces are basically
broken down into smaller pieces like that,
I'm going to add my cumin and for a little extra crunch,
I diced up some celery.
So I finely chopped that,
and I'm going to add it in my canned salmon.
Now tell me in the comments below
if you are a canned tuna, canned salmon person
and what do you like to add
to your tuna salad and salmon salad?
Because a lot of people add celery,
even diced apples work really well,
especially the green tart apples
go great in this type of salad.
All right, so let me give you a closeup
of what this looks like right here.
Now you can refrigerate this wrapped in plastic wrap,
or you could simply transfer it or make it
inside a lidded container like this.
Sealed, it will last in the fridge about four days,
so you can then use it to make lunches.
Let's make this wrap and pack it for lunch.
So I saved a little bit of mayo from the salad
to spread right over my wrap, just like this.
And then I'm going to place
some of the salmon salad right in the middle.
Then I'm going to take some salad greens
and place them right over the salmon.
This is some arugula, but you can use
spinach or field greens, and to make a wrap,
I'm simply going to tuck both of the ends right here
just like a burrito, so it holds all of our filling in.
Fold it over and then slide it back
and give it a good wrap just like this.
So I'm simply going to take a knife
and slice my canned salmon wrap in half,
and as you can see, it is perfect for lunch.
We can then pack it in a lunch box,
with some veggies, some fruit, and if you were wondering
if you could use some fresh salmon to make these wraps
or your salmon salad, the answer is yes.
You just have to use cooked fresh salmon.
Sometimes I make this salmon salad
with leftover salmon for dinner.
If I make a few pieces and I have extra,
I'll just save the cold salmon in the fridge
and make the salmon salad.
Now, if you love this kind of meal prep at lunches,
I'll leave some ideas right below this video,
as well as the link to the meal prep ebook,
a 101 Lunches ebook, and the ingredients
and measurements to the salmon salad.
