Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 14.75 oz canned salmon
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup onion
- 0.5 cup celery
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp dill weed
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a loaf pan with the butter and set aside.
Drain the canned salmon, reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid, and flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl. Remove any large bones, if desired.
Add the breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, finely diced celery, beaten eggs, milk, lemon juice, dill weed, salt, black pepper, and the reserved salmon liquid to the bowl with the salmon. Mix thoroughly until evenly combined.
Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to create an even shape.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the loaf is firm and lightly golden on top.
Remove the salmon loaf from the oven and let it cool slightly in the pan for about 5-10 minutes.
Carefully invert the loaf onto a serving platter or slice it directly from the pan. Serve warm as the main dish, accompanied by lemon wedges or a creamy dill sauce, if desired.
