Salmon Loaf Recipe - Cooking Index
Salmon loaf is a classic recipe that's easy to prepare and popular with families. It's also an excellent way to use canned salmon, which is a very good source of calcium because of the small, soft, edible bones it contains.
Type: Fish, Low Fat2 | Pink salmon - (7 1/2 oz ea) | |
1 | Onion - finely chopped (medium) | |
1 | Celery stalk - chopped (large) | |
1 tablespoon | 15ml | Nondiet tub-style margarine or butter |
1/2 cup | 31g / 1.1oz | Quick-cooking rolled oats |
1/4 cup | 49g / 1.7oz | Fat-free egg substitute |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Dried thyme |
1/2 teaspoon | 2.5ml | Dried basil |
1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Dry mustard |
1/8 teaspoon | 0.6ml | Ground celery seeds |
1/8 teaspoon | 0.6ml | Freshly-ground black pepper |
1/4 teaspoon | 1.3ml | Salt - (optional) |
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.
