Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Cook the egg noodles according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup and milk. Stir until smooth.
Add the sautéed onion, canned salmon (drained and flaked), frozen peas, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the soup mixture. Mix well to combine.
Add the cooked noodles to the salmon mixture, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the mixture into the dish and spread it out evenly.
Sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top of the casserole.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole is bubbly and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown.
Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your canned salmon casserole!
