• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 small red chile, finely chopped

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan with olive oil and set aside.

In a large mixing bowl, flake the canned salmon with a fork, discarding any large bones or skin if present.

Add breadcrumbs, eggs, milk, chopped onion, parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.

Step 4

Mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Step 5

Transfer the mixture into the greased loaf pan, pressing it gently to ensure an even shape.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf is firm to the touch.

Step 7

While the salmon loaf bakes, prepare the cucumber chile sauce. In a medium bowl, combine the diced cucumber, Greek yogurt, lime juice, red chile, dill, and honey.

Step 8

Stir the cucumber chile sauce well until all the ingredients are evenly mixed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Step 9

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