I use this quick technique: Sprinkle a little corn meal in the bottom of a quarter cup measuring cup.

Add salmon mixture almost to top.

Top with more corn meal.

With a salad and a loaf of bread, a great meal.

You can take the bones out of the canned salmon but I keep them in; they taste fine and provide calcium.

A yummy way to get those healthy omega oils (from the salmon) in your diet.
