Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14.75 oz canned salmon
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or non-stick spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a loaf pan with olive oil or non-stick spray, then set it aside.
Drain the canned salmon, discarding any liquid. Place the salmon in a mixing bowl and flake it with a fork.
Add the breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, finely chopped onion, lemon juice, dried dill, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon.
Mix all the ingredients together until they are well combined and hold together. If the mixture feels too wet, add a little more breadcrumbs; if it feels too dry, add a splash of milk.
Transfer the salmon mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to press it down evenly and smooth the top.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35 minutes, or until the top is golden and the loaf is cooked through.
Let the salmon loaf cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a side salad, steamed vegetables, or your favorite dipping sauce.
