Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 14 ounces canned salmon (drained, bones removed)
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 stalks green onions (chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked brown rice and canned salmon. Use a fork to flake the salmon and mix it evenly with the rice.
Add the eggs, panko breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, green onions, minced garlic, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press it down gently to ensure it is evenly distributed and holds its shape.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf is firm to the touch.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Slice the loaf into portions and serve warm. It pairs beautifully with a light green salad or steamed vegetables.
