Notes
This loaf was easy and delicious. Only changes I made were one egg instead of three, and I added 2 tbsp. dill juice from the pickle jar. Try it…you’ll like it.
Hi Carrie…Thanks for the suggestion…that does sound good! I will try it next time I’m making this.
My pleasure. You’re welcome. Thank you for posting this delicious recipe. It was a hit with my husband. There is NONE left! lol
I love salmon loaf and have been making it for years. In my recipe, I use 2 eggs and separate them. The beaten yolks get added with the other ingredients and I also add a little lemon juice and dill to taste. I beat the egg whites and fold them in before placing it all in the pan. The salmon loaf is light like a soufflé. Yummy!
Thanks for sharing, Mary! That sounds delicious! Another version I’ll have to try 🙂
This sounds like the one my mother used to make. I loved it!
Hi Margaret…it’s a handed down recipe in our family, too, so it could very well be the same one…and it is good 🙂
