Ingredients

• 15 oz canned salmon
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup onion
• 0.5 cup celery
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons parsley

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easier removal.

Step 2

Drain the canned salmon, reserving about 2 tablespoons of the liquid. Flake the salmon into a mixing bowl, removing any large bones if desired.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion and celery. Add them to the bowl with the salmon.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and reserved salmon liquid until well combined.

Step 5

Stir the breadcrumbs, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and parsley into the salmon mixture. Then pour in the egg and milk mixture and mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 6

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently to create an even surface.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, or until the top is firm and lightly golden.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the salmon loaf rest in the pan for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature with a side of steamed vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp green salad.
