Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces canned salmon (preferably boneless and skinless)
- 0.5 cup Starlac (powdered milk)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup celery, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried dill
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon butter, for greasing the loaf pan
- 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan with butter and set aside.
Drain the canned salmon, reserving 2 tablespoons of the liquid. Transfer the salmon and reserved liquid to a large mixing bowl.
Using a fork, flake the salmon into small pieces.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the powdered milk (Starlac) and 1/3 cup of water until well combined. Add this mixture to the salmon.
Stir in the breadcrumbs, eggs, chopped onion, celery, lemon juice, dried dill, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Spoon the salmon mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press down gently with a spatula to ensure the loaf is evenly packed and level.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden and the loaf is firm to the touch.
Remove the pan from the oven and let the salmon loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
Carefully slice the loaf and garnish with fresh chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a side of roasted vegetables, a green salad, or mashed potatoes.
