Many of us love a classic tuna salad, but there are many ways to use tuna to add more variety and flavor to meals. Canned fish is a pantry staple that serves as a great, affordable source of protein.
Â
One of my favorite ways to use canned tuna or salmon is in a sushi bowl: white rice, canned fish, and whatever vegetables I have on hand, such as carrots, cucumber, onion, corn, and cabbage. Top with soy sauce. Optional add-on: mix a dab of hot sauce with some mayo and drizzle on top. You can also try a tuna sushi bake.

Tuna can even serve as your protein of choice in tacos, quesadillas, burritos, and nachos. Here are some other tasty ways to use canned tuna…
