Pantry recipes using canned chicken or salmon?
Looking for recipes that are simple to make with ingredients from the pantry. Looking for ideas of things to make when you haven't been to the store yet...

Just remembered this and maybe it's more a fridge cleanout dish than pantry recipe but be your own judge.
We frequently have leftover rice from takeout and I freeze it in qt ZipLoc bags for use in rice pudding, fried rice and rice salads.
Rice salads are common up and down the Mediterranean region and the ingredient list is really about what you like and/or have on hand.
A personal fav for us is mint, peas and tuna rice salad.
To 1 qt of cold cooked rice, add a half hand of mint leaves, olive oil packed tuna, handful of peas, cherry or grape tomatoes, and 1/8-1/4 cup lemon based vinaigrette. You can use a bottled Italian vinegar based dressing and just add lemon juice or lemon zest to taste.
Mix well and place in cooler or fridge for 20-30 minutes. Serve.
Sometimes I serve it as a side dish other times as a lunch dish. Should I want to make it as a light dinner, I add a diced hard boiled egg or 2, cukes and maybe a sprinkle of minced green onion/scallion as a topping. Also nice served in a hollowed tomato when they are in abundance during growing season.
