Ingredients

Salmon Mixture

  • 1 can (15 ounces) red salmon, bones and skin removed
  • 3 slices of soft bread, cubed

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup melted butter
  • 1 ½ cups milk
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a loaf pan thoroughly to prevent sticking and set it aside.
  2. Mix Eggs: In a medium bowl, whisk the 2 eggs until smooth and slightly frothy.
  3. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the melted butter, milk, and salt to the whisked eggs, mixing until well combined.
  4. Prepare Salmon: Break the canned red salmon into bite-sized or slightly larger pieces, ensuring any bones or skin have been removed.
  5. Combine Ingredients: Add the cubed bread and broken salmon pieces to the wet ingredient mixture. Gently toss everything together until the bread is evenly coated and the salmon is distributed throughout the mixture.
  6. Transfer to Pan: Scrape the combined mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula.
  7. Bake: Bake the salmon loaf for 45 to 60 minutes, until it is puffed up and lightly browned on top. A toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean, indicating that the loaf is fully cooked.

Notes

  • Ensure bones and skin are completely removed from the salmon for the best texture.
  • You can substitute milk with a non-dairy alternative if desired, though it may slightly alter the texture.
  • Let the loaf cool slightly before slicing to maintain its shape.
  • Serve warm with a side of steamed vegetables or salad for a complete meal.
