Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14.75 oz canned salmon (boneless and skinless)
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup onion (finely chopped)
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tbsp butter (melted)
- 2 tbsp parsley (chopped)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- cooking spray
Instructions
Spray the inside of your crock pot with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Drain the canned salmon and flake it into a mixing bowl. Remove any remaining bones or skin, if necessary.
In the same bowl, add eggs, shredded cheddar cheese, breadcrumbs, onion, milk, melted butter, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined. The mixture should be moist but firm enough to hold its shape.
Shape the mixture into a loaf form that can fit into your crock pot. Alternatively, you can press the mixture into an oven-safe loaf pan or dish that fits inside the crock pot.
Place the salmon loaf into the crock pot. If using a loaf pan, set the pan inside the crock pot carefully.
Cover the crock pot with its lid and cook on low heat for 3 hours, or until the loaf is set and cooked through.
Carefully remove the loaf or loaf pan from the crock pot and let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with your favorite sides, such as a green salad, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
