I am new to canning salmon. First batch over xmas nearly used up. I like the flavour (especially the smoked salmon / regular salmon mix), but really like the convenience...no defrosting or cooking if you want a quick snack.
So...wanted to try expanding the experiment to halibut...more convenience than anything to use up the fish in the freezer. Numerous internet sources have said not to do it because the halibut will dry out and be gross. But what the heck...
I did several combinations, all with a tablespoon of olive oil added to a medium size jar (to combat drying it out).
Halibut and smoked salmon: added about 1/4 of can SS, to infuse smoked flavour to hali. Tried first can, worked out well...tastes smokey, fairly moist. Not as moist as canned salmon but reasonable.
Rest still to taste...will post results as the cans are opened.
Half halibut and half salmon
Halibut with dill and garlic
Halibut with thai chili sauce
Mmmm
