Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14 oz canned salmon (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 stalks green onions (chopped)
- 1 medium carrot (grated)
- 1 stalk celery (minced)
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 1 tsp olive oil (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and set aside.
Drain the canned salmon and flake it into a large mixing bowl, ensuring no large bones remain.
Add the parsley, green onions, grated carrot, and minced celery to the bowl with the salmon. Mix gently to combine.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth.
Pour the egg mixture into the salmon mixture. Add the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Gently mix until everything is fully combined and forms a cohesive texture.
Transfer the salmon mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Use the back of a spoon to press it evenly and firmly into the pan.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the loaf is firm and lightly golden on top.
Remove the salmon loaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm with a side of fresh vegetables or a light salad. Alternatively, enjoy it chilled for a refreshing lunch option.
