Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14.75 oz Canned salmon (skinless, boneless)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup Milk
- 0.5 cup (finely diced) Onion
- 0.25 cup (finely chopped) Celery
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika (for garnish)
- as needed Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
Drain the canned salmon and remove any remaining bones. Flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl.
Add the breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, diced onion, chopped celery, chopped parsley, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the salmon.
Using clean hands or a spatula, gently mix all the ingredients together until well combined. Be careful not to overmix to ensure your loaf stays moist and tender.
Transfer the salmon mixture into the prepared loaf pan and gently press it down to ensure an even surface. Sprinkle the top with paprika for a hint of color and flavor.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the loaf is firm to the touch.
Once cooked, remove the pan from the oven and let the salmon loaf cool for about 5-10 minutes. This will help the loaf hold its shape when sliced.
Carefully turn the loaf out onto a serving plate or slice it directly in the pan. Serve warm with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp green salad.
