it was international nachos day

but like Steve astutely observes, you can make nachos any old day

I made keta chowder instead which I don't believe has its own special day

Tert, I bet you could find different International Nachos day if you
shopped calendars! I've looked at a few of them for days that are
near and dear to my heart (like national martini day) and it seems
they can't/don't agree.

I remember when keta used to be called dog salmon -- except at
Safeway, which made a big deal over their "Silverbrite" salmon.

Haven't heard it called keta or dog salmon before, but I just found a
salmon burger recipe that looks promising.

it's also known as chum

I've had good luck with salmon burgers... use panko ... can't remember
if I mixed an egg in there for good measure

salmon salad is more or less the cold, non patty version (minus egg
and bc's of course)

From experience in my youth, I laid down a line: canned fish should be
kept cold.

A salmon version of Nicoise would work, with the tiny waxy potatoes.

I finally caved and bought some of that polenta-in-a-tube and fried
up some rounds. My son asked what I was making -- I called them
"corn cakes". He said he wanted some, and ate them right up. If
I'd called it polenta he would have told me it's icky.

I'm learning....slowly.

I bought the tubular polenta because the rest of the food I was making
was complicated enough, and I didn't want to think about the starch. I
nuked the rounds though, because I wanted them to absorb sauce. I did
fry the leftovers.
