Tinned salmon - too salty?

[Caz10]

I was going to try to make fishcakes for us all next week, tinned salmon seems recommended the most in the recipes (and cheaper) - but has it got too much salt would you say?

It says a serving contains 1.1g - seems a lot?

Mind you, dd is hardly going to eat an adult portion is she? hmmm

I have madenthem and fed them to dd from about 6mo and i figured divide whatever is in a tin by 8
9f0r 8 fish cakes as seh woud only eat one) and that's actually not much. IU used sainsburys recipe.

Have ben out and drubnk a lot so apolofies for bad bad bad typing

hee hee no worries, I am impressed by your interest in fishcakes at 3am when you are pickled!

Is that per portion just of the salmon or for the fish cakes? If its just for the salmon, I agree with Jellybelly that they wont be eating much once its been added to the other ingredients etc. Its not like she will just be eating the salmon on its own will she.

I think you can rinse it in a sieve if you really wanted to - presumably much of the salt is in the liquid? (I read that somewhere). I personally wouldn't bother but I am quite lazy. Fab post jellybelly!

yes that was from the tin of salmon, so it won't be much once it's mixed with everything else

and then dd will throw it on the ground anyway!

Sainsburys do a salt free salmon in a tin
