Canned Salmon Recipes Please

[kima]

I got a good deal on canned sockeye salmon today and would love some ideas on how to use them. I have made Salmon Loaf, patties, quiche, noodle casseroles etc. so at the risk of being picky I am looking for something new and different.
I look forward to some inspiration from my gang!!!:)

I haven't made this, but it seems to me to be ripe for modification. It's from Maui Cooks, a Collection of Island Recipes.

Salmon in Pastry

2 TBS butter, melted
1 onion, finely chopped
1 10-oz pkg frozen chopped spinach, thawed
1 3-oz pkg cream cheese
salt and pepper to taste
1 pkg 6 frozen patty shells
1 16-oz can red salmon
1 lemon
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg white, beaten

Saute onions in butter until translucent. Add spinach and cook over low heat for 5 minutes. Add cream cheese, salt and pepper and continue cooking until cheese is melted. Remove from heat and set aside.
Unwrap patty shells and let thaw slightly. Roll on floured board into 6- or 8-inch squares. Place a portion of salmon in the middle of each square and squeeze lemon over it. Add equal portions of the spinach mixture. Place 1 TBS parmesan cheese on each. Bring outer edges into center and squeeze together. Brush with beaten egg white.
Bake at 450 degrees for 10-15 minutes. Serves 6. This may be served with a white sauce combined with mushrooms, cheddar cheese and paprika.

kima, I have a recipe (hardly gourmet, but yummy nonetheless) for an appetizer called Salmon Roll-Ups. I can almost recite it for you, but if you want the ACTUAL recipe, let me know and I can post it for you later. It's got salmon (duh), cream cheese (I have used light and fat free, both with good results), salsa, cumin, and another spice that is escaping me....all wrapped up tightly in tortillas. Then cut into little spirals after refrigeration. I swear I've eaten half a plate of these before - YUM!

Here's a recipe that we like. It's not gourmet by any means but good.

Hi Clover - that recipe looks great but what are patty shells? Are they something like - puff pastry? phyllo? or something else? I have some left over king salmon I was going to make into quiches but your salmon recipe looks more appealing right now.

Woman's Day had two recipes in their Budget Cook section in 11/01. I happened to pull the page from my files over the weekend when I was planning menus for the week, so it's right here...

***I have not tried either of these recipes.
