While I may not be a huge fan of fish, I do love the soft texture and delightful flavor of salmon. At home, I vacuum-seal fillets and freeze them. I add salmon to salads or pasta dishes, I prepare it grilled or the way my daughters like it. If I’m watching my budget, I buy canned salmon; it tastes good, it’s economical and super convenient in terms of keeping it on hand in the pantry. I recently learned how to prepare a feast fit for the gods: super original, salmon empanadas. If you’re a fan of bagels with salmon, capers, egg and red onion, with just a touch of fresh dill, this recipe is a delightful variation. Enjoy!
