Step one

How to thaw tinned sockeye and albacore

● Best

No thaw needed

Shelf-stable. Chill the tin first if you are serving it cold.

Step two

How to serve tinned sockeye and albacore

Get it right

2 things that make the difference

  1. Leftover salmon rice bowl

    Flake chilled, properly stored cooked salmon into freshly cooked rice; season with soy sauce and sesame oil and add green vegetables. Canned salmon or tuna also works.

    From Chef Robert Clark

  2. Use the liquid from canned albacore tuna

    Use canned tuna liquid in a salad dressing with ½ tsp Dijon, ½ tsp vinegar and 1 tbsp olive oil; add seasoning and flake tuna over greens. Liquid may also be incorporated into tuna salad.
