Ingredients:

|---|---|
| Lemon juice | 1 |
| Sockeye salmon | 1 |

| Milk | 1/2 |
| Egg Beaters egg substitute | 1/4 |
| Celery | 1/2 |
| Dill weed | 1 |
| Lemon | 1 |
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Salmon: If you prefer boneless, skinless salmon, carefully remove any bones or skin from the sockeye salmon. This step is optional, depending on your preference and the preferences of your family or guests.
-
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (approximately 176 degrees Celsius) to ensure it’s ready when you’re done preparing the ingredients.
-
Prepare the Pan: Lightly spray a bread pan with nonstick spray to prevent the salmon loaf from sticking during baking. This ensures easy removal and a beautifully intact loaf.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the prepared salmon (either whole or flaked), lemon juice, white sauce, milk, Egg Beaters egg substitute, chopped celery, and dill weed. Mix everything together until well combined.
-
Transfer to Pan: Once the ingredients are thoroughly mixed, transfer the mixture into the prepared bread pan, spreading it out evenly to ensure even cooking.
-
Bake: Place the bread pan in the preheated oven and bake for approximately 30 minutes, or until the salmon loaf is cooked through and golden brown on top. Keep an eye on it to avoid overcooking.
-
Serve: Once baked to perfection, remove the salmon loaf from the oven and let it cool slightly before slicing. Serve it warm with lemon wedges on the side for an extra burst of flavor. Don’t forget to serve it alongside your favorite medium white sauce and chopped boiled eggs for a complete and satisfying meal.
