Ingredients
- 15 ounces canned salmon
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup milk
- 0.5 cup onion
- 0.5 cup celery
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan with butter or non-stick spray.
Step 2
Drain the canned salmon, reserving the liquid. Remove any large bones and skin. Flake the salmon into a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
In the same bowl, add the eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until combined.
Step 4
Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Sauté the onion and celery until they are softened, about 5 minutes.
Step 5
Add the sautéed vegetables to the salmon mixture and stir until evenly incorporated.
Step 6
If the mixture is too dry, add a little of the reserved salmon liquid a tablespoon at a time until it holds together well.
Step 7
Transfer the mixture into the greased loaf pan, spreading it evenly and pressing gently to pack it down.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
Step 9
Let the salmon loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with your favorite sauce or as is.
