You can make canned salmon into burgers or put it on salads.
Dr. Oz: Liverwurst Vs. Duck Liver

Liverwurst is full of the same nutritional value as duck liver. It contains protein, B-12, and iron. But the cost is half for the same amount. Josh really liked the liverwurst and thought it was a great substitute.
