5 Tasty Back-To-School Lunches

Just like that, a new school year is upon us! 

For those who dread the task of planning and preparing school lunches, or perhaps are just looking for new inspiration, we’ve pulled together 5 easy, kid-friendly lunches featuring our wild-caught, sustainable seafood. They’re perfect for back-to-school!

1. Salmon & Kelp Onigiri

Four sockeye salmon-filled onigiri arranged on blue plates with a side of soy sauce.

On the hunt for a simple yet nutritious recipe to please your little one’s adventurous palate? Say hello to our salmon and kelp onigiri! Prepared with your favourite canned fish (we chose our regular sockeye salmon), seasoned sushi rice and a few basic pantry staples, our ongiri can be made the night before and stored in the fridge for the following day. Did we mention they’re also great for work lunches?!

When it comes to fuss-free lunches, it doesn’t get much better than our tuna salad lettuce cups! Coming together in under 10 minutes with only a few basic ingredients, our tuna salad tastes great served in lettuce cups or as a nutrition-packed sandwich filling. You could also switch out the tuna for your favourite canned salmon!

3. Salmon Patties

Two grilled coho salmon patties served on a white plate with roasted baby potatoes, salad greens, and aioli.

Introducing the superstar behind our salmon patties: our super-convenient (and delicious!) spoon meat! With a texture reminiscent of ground meat, our salmon spoon meat is both budget-friendly and easy to work with, making it perfect for meal prep. Send our patties in a school lunch box as is, or use them as the protein in a sandwich or wrap.

4. Tuna Lox Bagel

Rolls of smoked albacore tuna lox served on a platter with fresh salad greens.

We all love a classic cream cheese bagel with salmon lox, but have you tried our tuna lox? Boasting the same smoky flavour and delicate texture as our salmon, our tuna lox pairs beautifully with avocado and cream cheese on a bagel, rice cakes, or sandwich bread.
