"Salmon" is actually a foreign word, which is taken from the transliteration of "Salmon". Salmon originally meant salmon, but somehow it became a common name for canned fish with tomato sauce. When the older generation talked about salmon, they mostly referred to canned fish with tomato sauce.
The first time I ate salmon was when I was a child in my hometown. One typhoon day that summer, grandpa didn't go fishing. On a stormy evening, grandma opened a can of salmon, poured it into a big bowl, sprinkled with coarse salt, and then crushed the fish pieces in red soup. Grandma also put the empty salmon jar on the table, lit a red candle on the jar, and a group of grandparents and grandchildren ate sweet potatoes around the flickering candlelight table. Several pairs of chopsticks kept fishing for tomato juice dissolved with coarse salt, which tasted particularly salty fish.
At that time, the people who begged for the sea were thrifty, and almost all the side dishes on the table were miscellaneous fish caught by themselves. Canned salmon was a luxury when I was a child. When I was a child, I often played by the sea. Occasionally, when I see an empty can that has been discarded, I will imagine which one has eaten salmon again, and I am envious.
Salmon can be served with wine, rice or noodle soup-this is a trick in high school. One year on a picnic, our dinner was lit on the school playground. A large pot of white flour mixed with canned fish and cabbage with tomato sauce. Seventeen or eighteen, confused taste buds, hungry. Salmon and Chinese cabbage in red soup seem to be more delicious than anything else. Since then, salmon noodles have integrated my memories of youth. Later, I had many opportunities to eat salmon noodles, all in other places, mostly for the convenience of lazy people with stomachs.
The most incredible way to eat salmon was taught to me by Vietnamese. 19 years old, in Hong Kong, a Vietnamese elder sister helped to cook three meals and often taught me to cook Vietnamese food. Vietnamese are addicted to Chili and lettuce. Vietnamese elder sister chopped a few onions and red peppers and made a can of salmon, which was delicious. The spicy taste of onions and peppers neutralized the fatness of the fish, and even the tomato juice at the bottom of the bowl was eaten up. Today, salmon sprinkled with green and white chopped green onion and bright red pepper is still my favorite. (sunny day)
