I ordered Zataar on the internet based solely on your recipes (no international markets in our neck-of-the-woods) and this is the first I've tried. Will definitely try the Zataar chicken as well. Thanks! Paula 2 | 2011-07-30 What size can of salmon? Scott Hagnas 3 | 2011-08-01 Thanks, Stacy! Paula - TJ's only sells one size - if I remember right, it's 15oz or so. It's the larger sized can, for sure. You can use whichever brand you like; just compute your protein from the label. Bonnie Matthews 4 | 2011-10-10 This looks great! I'm so glad I stumbled on this! I just got some zaatar and have only ventured putting it on hummus thus far! Totally gonna try this! thanks!
