Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 oz canned salmon (preferably skinless and boneless)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned salmon, including any liquid in the can. Flake it with a fork to break it up into smaller pieces.
Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, celery, parsley, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dill, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press it down evenly to shape the loaf and ensure there are no air pockets.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the loaf is firm to the touch.
Remove the salmon loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Slice into generous portions and serve warm. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad.
