*** NOTE: 🚨 canned salmon usually has a layer of skin and little bones in it. We know this may gross some people out BUT these are perfectly fine to eat and are actually highly concentrated in calcium and vitamin D (great for 🦴 health!) Once you mash everything together well with a fork, the bones break down and you can’t taste them.. but can also pick them out if preferred OR buy skinless, boneless canned salmon!
