Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 450 grams canned salmon (drained and flaked)
- 2 large eggs
- 120 grams breadcrumbs
- 120 milliliters milk
- 60 grams grated Parmesan cheese
- 15 grams dill (fresh, chopped)
- 15 grams parsley (fresh, chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 15 grams butter (for sautéing onion)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for greasing baking sheet)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly grease the parchment paper with olive oil.
In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until translucent, approximately 3-5 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked canned salmon, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped dill, chopped parsley, lemon zest, cooked onions, salt, and black pepper.
Using a spatula or clean hands, mix the ingredients until well combined and the texture is cohesive.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking sheet. Shape the mixture into a compact log approximately 25cm (10 inches) long and 7cm (3 inches) wide.
Bake the salmon loaf for 30-35 minutes, or until it is golden on the outside and firm to the touch. An internal temperature of 65°C (150°F) confirms that it is fully cooked.
Remove the salmon loaf from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Carefully transfer it to a serving platter.
Slice into 2cm (1 inch) thick pieces for serving. Pair with a light salad, crusty bread, or tangy lemon-dill sauce for a complete meal.
