Ingredients:

  • 1 lb (450g) fresh salmon fillet, skin removed
  • 1 cup (100g) fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
  • 1/4 cup (60g) finely chopped onion
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons (30g) chopped fresh dill or parsley
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 teaspoon (5g) Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lemon wedges for serving
  • Tartare sauce or dill sauce (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Place the salmon fillet in a food processor and pulse until coarsely chopped.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, eggs, dill or parsley, lemon zest, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
  4. Cover the bowl with a damp cloth or plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. Scoop the mixture into the prepared loaf tin, pressing down to ensure it holds its shape.
  6. Place the loaf tin on a baking tray and bake in the oven for 45 minutes, or until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/70°C).
  7. Allow the loaf to cool for 10 minutes before removing from the tin. Slice and serve with lemon wedges and your choice of sauce.
