A quick and easy savory salmon loaf that is moist, flaky, and comforting, perfect for cozy dinners and made with simple pantry ingredients.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 14 oz (400 g) canned salmon, drained and flaked
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (90 g) breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
  • ½ cup (120 ml) mayonnaise (light or full-fat)
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup (60 ml) finely chopped onion (optional)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons ketchup or tomato sauce (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar (for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your loaf pan or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Drain and flake the salmon into a mixing bowl using a fork, keeping it light and flaky.
  3. Add the eggs, mayonnaise, and Dijon mustard to the salmon and stir gently until combined.
  4. Mix in the breadcrumbs, onions, garlic, parsley, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper.
  5. Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan, pressing down gently and smoothing the top.
  6. Mix ketchup and brown sugar in a small bowl and spread evenly over the top of the loaf.
  7. Bake for 40-45 minutes until the loaf is firm and the topping is bubbly and golden.
  8. Remove from oven and let the loaf rest for about 10 minutes before slicing.

Notes

Do not overmix to keep the loaf tender and flaky. Use quality canned salmon for best flavor. Let the loaf rest before slicing to prevent crumbling. Gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour can be used for gluten-free version. Vegan mayonnaise can substitute for dairy-free. Add finely chopped celery or bell pepper for extra texture.
