Salmon Loaf  

Salmon Loaf

ingredients:

2 cans drained salmon (save liquid)
3-4 cups old fashioned oatmeal(or crushed saltines)
2 eggs
1/4-1/2 minced dry onions(or fresh finely chopped)*mainly to taste
reserved liquid
skim milk
pepper
dried parsley (optional)

*I used to use crushed saltines, to make healthier I now use oatmeal.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

Spray a 8 or 9 inch square pan, set aside (I use a square pyrex dish)

Place drained salmon is a large bowl, stir well to crumble
Add 2 cups oatmeal, 1 cup at a time, mix well

should be almost dry, large crumbles, at this point

Add 2 eggs
Onions
Pepper
Parsley

Mix Well, continue adding reserved liquid from salmon, and more oatmeal as necessary,adding milk if needed, to make mixture very moist,but not soggy

You want a meatloaf like consistency

Scoop mixture into prepared pan, press to form a nice flat shape
run a butterknife around the sides to pull the mixture away from the side of the baking dish.

Bake in Oven until the top is lightly brown. Next time I make it I will time it exactly.

Makes 9 large pieces.
