Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned salmon (drained and flaked)
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup cheddar cheese (shredded)
- 1 medium green apple (grated)
- 1 small onion (finely chopped)
- 1 stalk celery (finely diced)
- 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- 0.25 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon butter (for greasing loaf pan)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a standard loaf pan with butter to prevent sticking.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked canned salmon, panko breadcrumbs, shredded cheddar cheese, grated green apple, finely chopped onion, and diced celery.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs, milk, chopped parsley, Dijon mustard, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well blended.
Pour the wet ingredients into the salmon mixture and gently stir until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Transfer the mixture into the greased loaf pan, pressing it down gently to ensure even cooking and a firm shape.
Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the loaf is set and the top is golden brown.
Remove the salmon loaf from the oven and allow it to rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm or at room temperature with a side of your choice such as a simple green salad or roasted vegetables.
