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

Very good! I made it for a friend who is on a low carbohydrate diet, and he said it was delicious. Making it into a quiche by putting it in a pie shell sounds good too, but of course that would add more carbs......but I'll keep that in mind for the when I make it again. Great recipe!

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.
