Simply Recipes

One of my favorite things to do with canned salmon is to make a simple salmon macaroni salad with it, a riff off our family favorite tuna macaroni salad.

On the one hand, fish are inoffensive creatures. Wet, slimy, and not especially gifted in the brain cell department, the majority aren’t much to worry about unless they’re getting overcooked on the barbecue. Yet on the other hand there are a few species that are slightly more loathsome to our palates. These are creatures straight out of our nightmares – some more fangs than fish; others that look like they’ve barely swum out of the primeval sludge. Brace yourself.

HAH
