Note:
Even if you don’t have the luxury of living in Alaska or have access to quality fresh or frozen salmon, you can easily substitute canned wild Alaskan salmon - or any other type of fish - in this recipe. Halibut and cod work extremely well in this recipe.
ANOTHER NOTE: This is a great way to use up leftover salmon or other fish.
