Ingredients
Scale:
1 pound fresh or canned salmon, drained and flaked
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free if necessary)
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon dried dill or 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
1 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a loaf pan with cooking spray or a light coating of oil.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked salmon, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, mayonnaise, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Transfer the salmon mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing down gently to ensure it holds its shape during baking.
Place the loaf in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the top is golden brown and the loaf is firm to the touch.
Remove the loaf from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5-10 minutes in the pan.
