📌 Retro Baked Salmon Loaf

Posted 4 May 2026 by: Admin #Recipes

Salmon loaf — two words that make half of people run away before even putting on an apron. That’s the reputation of this dish: dated, dry, a post-war relic you eat because you have no choice. Yet, this six-ingredient salmon loaf, forty-five minutes in the oven and costing next to nothing, has become one of those requested dishes in my kitchen.

Ingredients :

  • Canned salmon — Get sockeye red salmon if you can find it — the color is much nicer and the taste more pronounced. Otherwise, classic pink salmon works very well. Drain it carefully and remove the bones with your fingers; it takes thirty seconds.
  • Salted crackers like Tuc or Ritz — They are the binder and the seasoning at the same time. Crumble them coarsely by hand, not into a fine powder — you want to feel a few small fragments in the crumb. Ritz crackers bring a light buttery taste that pairs beautifully with the salmon.
  • Eggs — Two whole eggs, beaten before incorporating. They provide the structure. Without them, the loaf falls into crumbs at the first slice.
  • Onion — Half an onion, preferably grated. When grated, it completely disappears into the mix without being noticed, but it adds depth. Finely chopped, its presence is more assertive. It’s up to your preference.
