About Fish, salmon, pink, canned, drained solids

Canned pink salmon is wild salmon cooked and sealed in the can, and it remains one of the best-value ways to eat oily fish. Pink (or humpback) salmon is the lightest-colored, mildest and cheapest of the canned salmons, sold both with and without skin and bones.

It is genuinely nutritious: about 138 calories per 100 grams, with a substantial 23 grams of protein and around 5 grams of fat that includes the omega-3s EPA and DHA. A distinctive bonus is the soft, edible bones left in the can; mashed in, they add a real dose of calcium you don't get from a fillet. Canning adds some sodium, roughly 380 milligrams per 100 grams.

It needs no cooking, flaked into salads, sandwiches and pasta, or bound with egg and crumbs into salmon patties and fishcakes. A pantry staple for a quick, affordable protein.
