One summer, I worked at a small fishing inn at River's Inlet on the coast of British Columbia, where lucky fishermen sometimes caught 60-pound spring salmon! This is a nice alternative for fixing canned salmon. It also makes excellent use of fresh asparagus. —Abby Crawford Corvallis, Oregon

This recipe is awesome. I did make a pie crust and turned into a quiche and also used a little spicy brown mustard to spread on the pie crust before filling with the salmon mixture. This recipe comes out silky and creamy. I am glad that I tried it.
