Ingredients

• 14.75 ounces canned salmon
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup milk
• 0.5 cup, finely chopped onion
• 0.5 cup, finely chopped celery
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons, chopped parsley
• 0.5 teaspoon dried dill
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 as needed cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Prepare a loaf pan by spraying it lightly with cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

Step 3

Drain the canned salmon and remove any skin or large bones if desired. Place the salmon in a large mixing bowl and flake it with a fork.

Step 4

In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and celery, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 5

Add the sautéed vegetables, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, lemon juice, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper to the bowl with the salmon. Mix everything together thoroughly until evenly 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 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf is firm to the touch.

Step 8

Let the salmon loaf cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before removing and slicing.

Step 9

Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley or a drizzle of lemon juice if desired. Pair with a side of vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal.
