Ingredients

• 14 oz canned salmon (boneless, skinless)
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley (chopped)
• 2 stalks green onions (chopped)
• 1 medium carrot (grated)
• 1 stalk celery (minced)
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup plain breadcrumbs
• 1 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 0.5 tsp garlic powder
• 0.25 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp salt
• 1 tsp olive oil (for greasing)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with 1 teaspoon of olive oil and set aside.

Step 2

Drain the canned salmon and flake it into a large mixing bowl, ensuring no large bones remain.

Step 3

Add the parsley, green onions, grated carrot, and minced celery to the bowl with the salmon. Mix gently to combine.

Step 4

In a separate small bowl, whisk together the eggs, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard until smooth.

Step 5

Pour the egg mixture into the salmon mixture. Add the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt. Gently mix until everything is fully combined and forms a cohesive texture.

Step 6

Transfer the salmon mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Use the back of a spoon to press it evenly and firmly into the pan.

Step 7

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the loaf is firm and lightly golden on top.

Step 8

Remove the salmon loaf from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm with a side of fresh vegetables or a light salad. Alternatively, enjoy it chilled for a refreshing lunch option.
