- Open and drain the salmon, remove any skin and bones if desired, flake apart with a fork. Prep the other cans. I leave the skin on and bones in, nutrition.

Notes
Figure about $6 for two cans of the salmon in the US, this would come out to just over $1 per serving. For Thailand, I have seen canned salmon for much much more, and I will get the price when I make this from frozen then steamed salmon.
