Before you do anything with it, pick out the skins and the bones as best you can.
This is what poor people ate like tuna noodle casserole because they were poor. I make mine with eggs, crackers, mustard and seasonings like thyme to kill the fish taste. Grilling is great, but you can deep fry them too, so it forms a crunchy exterior. I did a great deal of hamburger buns with them, mayo and like all bad fish, tartar sauce.
Canned salmon gets old in a hurry.
If I could suggest, what is better is mock crab in a pasta salad with ranch dressing, mayo and Italian seasoning, with garlic toast or good crackers. Try clams too in a white sauce, with onion sauteed, bouillon, cream,and whatever seasoning you prefer, and thicken with flour. Use it over pasta with cheese and you should enjoy that better than that salmon.
Last thing, if you have salmon in those heavy green cans, I carefully open them and use them for drinking glasses as they never wear our or dent.
Few people ever get a taste for fish stew, soup or casseroles as you just can not get away from the fish when it is an oily fish like salmon.

Fried patties or cakes are good for canned salmon.
Mix it with cream cheese and it's a pretty good spread for crackers or bagel smear.
Be creative. Google is your friend in the kitchen.

Start up the grill. Cover the fish in bacon. Cook until bacon is done. Throw away the humpy and eat the bacon. Ditto Humpies (pinks) are a pretty poor excuse of a salmon; if they would call them something other than salmon I think it would be good for the entire fishing industry. Really, that's all you could find, not even any cans of sockeye on the shelf?

Never thought about why we had salmon patties and tuna casserole so often. But I think you nailed it; because we had 10 of us at the table. Lots of big bowls of scrambled eggs and spaghetti too.

That reminds me I still have a few cans of red salmon I canned when I was in Alaska. That was back in 89. I wonder if it's still good? Those were packed with Captain Hazelwood oil. They never go bad.

Nah, just in their own juices in a pressure cooker. That was the first time I used cans and a can sealer. Worked great. We ate most of it, but still have a few left. Just wondered after 31 years if it's still good. Cans aren't corroded or swelled. Do you have your own can sealer?I was thinking of getting one just for canning dry goods with the oxygen absorbers in them.
