Tips & Substitutions
For a lighter option, consider substituting Greek yogurt for some of the butter in the biscuit mix. If you don't have New York cheese, any sharp cheese like cheddar will work well. Feel free to add herbs like dill or parsley to enhance flavor. For a twist, try adding some cooked spinach or artichoke for extra texture and taste.
Serving Suggestions
Serve warm, garnished with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for a pop of color and flavor. This dish pairs beautifully with a crisp green salad or steamed vegetables. For a complete meal, consider serving alongside a bowl of soup, like a light tomato bisque, to complement the flavors.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes until warmed through, as this will help maintain the biscuit's texture. Avoid using the microwave, as it can make the biscuits soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use fresh salmon instead of canned?
Yes, you can use fresh salmon. Cook and flake it before adding it to the mixture. Adjust the cooking time to ensure the salmon is fully cooked, making sure it stays moist. This can add a fresher flavor compared to canned options.
What can I substitute for the biscuit mix?
You can make your own biscuit mix using flour, baking powder, and salt. For a gluten-free version, try almond flour or a gluten-free baking mix. Keep in mind that the texture might differ slightly, but it can still yield delicious results.
How can I make this recipe vegetarian?
To make this dish vegetarian, simply omit the salmon and replace it with sautéed mushrooms or a mix of diced vegetables like bell peppers and zucchini. You could also add some crumbled tofu for protein, making it a hearty alternative.
