Having a fully-stocked pantry is always handy, especially when you're stuck at home and can't go to the supermarket, or when you simply need to save money and don't want to eat out or order takeout.

From crispy salmon patties to creamy salmon chowder, canned salmon recipes make some of our all-time favorite pantry meals.

This salmon loaf is a winner! And it's made from ingredients you're apt to have in your cupboard. Even if you don't have canned salmon, chances are you've got a can of tuna, and that will do as well.
