DELICIOUS SALMON LOG
Perfect for get togethers! This can be doubled if desired, if you are doubling the recipe I would suggest to use 1 can of red salmon and one can of pink due to cost factor. I have served this many times formed in a fish mold (see note on bottom).

FANTASTIC SALMON LOAF (SALMON PARTY LOG)
This is hands down the best salmon log I've ever had. My family makes it for every get together, and my boyfriend demands it randomly (and he doesn't like salmon!). You don't have to chill it for that long, just until it's set.

Tips:
- Choose the right salmon. Look for wild-caught, sustainable salmon that is firm and has a vibrant color.

- Cook the salmon gently. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough. Cook it just until it is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Use a variety of cooking methods. You can bake, grill, or pan-fry salmon. Each method gives the salmon a different flavor and texture.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with flavors. Salmon is a versatile fish that can be paired with a variety of flavors. Try different herbs, spices, and sauces to find your favorite way to enjoy it.
Conclusion:
Salmon is a delicious and healthy fish that is easy to cook. With a little planning and effort, you can create a delicious salmon dish that your family and friends will love. So next time you're looking for a healthy and flavorful meal, give salmon a try.
