I don't cook a lot anymore and when I do, I use the microwave, so this recipe is from a microwave cookbook. I have been making it for years....
4 - 5 servings
9 x 5 loaf pan
l can (15 1/2 oz.) salmon
Milk
2 eggs
1 c. coarsely crushed cracker crumbs
3 T. chopped onion
2 T. lemon juice
1/4 t. salt
1/4 t. pepper
Cucumber sauce (below) if desired.
Drain salmon into a 2 c. measure. Add milk to make 1 1/2 c. liquid. Set aside. Remove bones and skin from salmon and flake meat thoroughly.
In a 2 qt. bowl, beat eggs. Add salmon liquid. Stir in cracker crumbs, onion, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Add salmon and stir lightly until just moistened.
Handling gently, spread mixture in (9 x 5) glass loaf dish. MICROWAVE 15 minutes on "7" or until center is set. Serve with cucumber sauce.
Cucumber sauce
1/2 c. dairy sour cream
1/2 c. chopped cucumber
2 green onions, finely chopped
2 T. light cream
Combine all ingredients. Mix until blended. Serve over salmon loaf. MICROWAVE 1 minute on "5" to warm.
Now, let me tell you how I cheat. I use a 2 qt. Corning Ware casserole, not a loaf pan, in which I mix the salmon loaf. I use store bought minced onion and I crush my own cracker crumbs by rolling saltines between 2 pieces of waxed paper with a rolling pin. And I never fix the cucumber sauce (Gary would kill me) so we eat the loaf straight.
