Does canned salmon need to be cooked?

Question

Ive got some from walmart and am about to make some sushi, but it doesnt say anywhere on the can if I need to cook it first or not.

Answer 1

Canned salmon is already cooked... just open, drain, and eat.

Answer 2

No you don't need to cook it first. I usually mix mine with egg and onions, and fry it , then I serve it over white rice. You can also make salmon salad with canned salmon. Make it just like you make tuna sald.

Answer 3

its already cooked

similar to tuna fish in can

Answer 4

No.

Answer 5

No, it doesn't. And, because its been processed, it's not going to give you a similar texture and flavor that raw ahi or yellow tail tuna would in sushi.  You might want to consider mixing your salmon with cream cheese, chopped chives, and smoky paprika and making sushi rollups.

Answer 6

You can't make sushi with canned salmon.  It's not the same consistency, and certainly not the right QUALITY for sushi.  Sushi grade salmon will cost $30/lb or more.  Only use FRESH, FRESH fish for sushi or sashimi
