Add a little hot sauce

Can somebody explain what "Wild Planet wild king" is?

I dispensed with the pickled onion and used some leftover salmon with capers, fresh dill, spring onion celery, mayo, a dash of sriracha and squeeze of lime on black bread with sliced tomatoes.

I just made one of the best sandwiches of my entire life, riffing on this recipe. I pickled some scallions in the lime and salt and pepper and after 5 minutes added some coleslaw mix to it (I don’t like raw celery.) Then I mixed a can of salmon with the magic combo of soy sauce, sesame oil and maple syrup. I added the pickled slaw to salmon, and then added mayo and more of the magic combo. I griddled some potato bread and served the salmon salad open faced on two slices. Amazing!

Polly, Wild Planet is a brand of canned tuna and salmon. Am assuming “king” refers to king salmon. My market in PA Offers their king pink salmon and sockeye from Wild Planet. $7.49 for king pink and $11.19 for Wild sockeye. 6 oz cans so a premium product.
