Ingredients

• 15 oz canned salmon (preferably skinless and boneless)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup onion, finely chopped
• 0.25 cup celery, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 0.5 teaspoon dried dill
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon butter or cooking spray (for greasing the pan)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter or cooking spray.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned salmon, including any liquid in the can. Flake it with a fork to break it up into smaller pieces.

Step 3

Add the eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, celery, parsley, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, dill, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Step 4

Transfer the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Press it down evenly to shape the loaf and ensure there are no air pockets.

Step 5

Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, or until the top is golden and the loaf is firm to the touch.

Step 6

Remove the salmon loaf from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before slicing.

Step 7

Slice into generous portions and serve warm. This dish pairs wonderfully with a side of roasted vegetables or a crisp green salad.
