Recipe Instructions

Drain the salmon, reserving 3 tablespoons of the liquid and placing the liquid in a medium bowl. Remove and discard the skin from the salmon. Transfer the salmon to the bowl with the liquid. Use a fork to flake the salmon and crush the bones.

In a 2-cup glass measure, stir together the onions, celery and margarine or butter. Cover with wax paper. Microwave on high power for 2 minutes.

Add the onion mixture to the salmon. Stir in the oats, eggs, thyme, basil, mustard, celery seeds, pepper and salt (if using). Mix well.

Lightly spray an 8-inch by 4-inch glass loaf pan with no-stick spray. Transfer the salmon mixture to the dish. Lightly pat evenly in the dish. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.

Place the pan on a wire rack and let stand for 5 minutes. Cut the loaf into 1-inch slices and use a wide-blade spatula to remove the slices from the dish.

This recipe yields 4 servings.
