My Latest Trader Joe’s Find

It fits right in with a nostalgic recipe

A while back, I told you about finding my mother’s recipe for salmon cakes. I’ve been making them regularly the past few months. Since I was in a salmon frame of mind, my eyes widened when I spotted a recommendation on Instagram.

It was for Trader Joe’s Lightly Smoked Salmon. It is packed in extra virgin olive oil in a five ounce container. It is about the size of the trendy tinned fish that you are seeing in gourmet stores and supermarkets.

I might not have paid much attention in the past. But I took a tinned fish class last year at Zingerman’s Deli, which opened my eyes to the possibilities of this type of product.
