Good, but needed more flavor in my opinion. The first time I made it as written. Second time I added diced onion as others had and a little garlic. Also, the second time I sliced an 8 ounce package of Neufachtel cheese into thirds lengthwise and put a length in the middle of the loaf- we liked that. But, without that it is still a very nice recipe! And so easy! Thank you!

Super EASY and DELICIOUS! I added some finely chopped onion and red bell pepper plus a couple of dashes of cayenne. We like a “bright” finish so I sprinkled some ‘True Lemon’ brand crystallized lemon on top before serving. Dinner was accompanied by gently steamed asparagus and a citrus fruit cup.

I love this recipe as is! It’s so easy to make, and everyone in my family enjoys it. (Super easy for the kids to make too!) Sometimes I enjoy a sauce on the side if the mood strikes, and I pull it away from the edges a bit before baking to prevent overcooking or burning the edges, but that’s it! It’s so good, thank you Gloria!!

Easy but really needs spicing up and modifications such as the can had to be mostly drained or it would have been sludge. I used Panko bread crumbs not crackers and I added finely chopped scallions plus a heaping tablespoon of Harissa paste for some heat.
Rodney Logan
easy and just as good as slamon patties.
Daniel Wilson
It’s a bit bland as written. I added 2 tbsp of finely chopped onion, and it made a big difference.

loved this recipe but made it as my mother told me to. ‘never waste’. put the whole can of salmon in a blender. outcomes a paste add whatever spices, veggies, I add mine through the blender so the kids don’t see them you like then follow the recipe. the bones and skin give us extra vitamins like calcium. you will have to make adjustments to the mositure/crackers .

I’ve been using this recipe as a guide. I usually double it, and instead of canned salmon, I use 2 lbs of skinless frozen salmon from Walmart. I also add garlic and dill to the butter before melting it. I use low sodium tamari instead of salt, and throw about 1/8 cup of vermouth to make it interesting. If you want to make it more of a “rib sticker “, just add 1/8 cup of Quaker quick barley. I’ll put in in the microwave with equal parts of chicken bone broth, and cook it first on low for 2 minutes. I also change up the crackers. I use wheat crackers, butter crackers, or even flavored croutons broken up in a bowl with a potato masher. I’ve been doing this for years.. No complaints.

So easy! So delicious! I added diced onion, green pepper and some granular garlic. I couldn’t stop eating it.

Good taste and easy to make.

Very easy recipe and taste really good. I added dried minced onion because we like them for seasoning.

Added a little onion and served it with fried potatoes and creamed peas. Family thought it was the best salmon loaf they’ve ever had. A great recipe! It was delicious. Definitely will make it again.
Mary Barrett
I will definitely make it again, but next time I will drain the salmon.
Jose Sanchez
Definitely making this on fridays!

Out of saltines, so I used bread crumbs. I added another egg, 1/2 diced onion, some roasted garlic, dried herbs, mustard, fresh orange squeeze. Dill paste, and and another 1 /2 cup bread crumbs plus some additional leftover salmon. Frosted the top with 50/50 combo of mayo and mustard.
Matthew Schmidt
I used bread crumbs instead of crackers.
Jonathan Thomas
Excellent budget salmon meal. This is a keeper. Followed recipe – plus added 1/2 onion steamed in Microwave, and chopped garlic. Also, substituted Ritz crackers.

Delicious! I made it as directed, for the most part. As another reviewer suggested I crushed up 14 saltines. Omitted the butter, was going to add olive oil, but it already looked moist enough so I skipped that part. For the salt&pepper I used fresh ground lemon pepper. Couldn’t find my loaf pan but I remembered a tip from America’s Test Kitchen – they recommend not using a pan because it traps grease, fat, etc., and can make the loaf soggy. So I just shaped the mixture into a loaf shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Came out with a nice crusty edge and so moist! Like tasting salmon loaf my mum used to make. Hubby really enjoyed it. Going into menu plan rotation. Thanks so much for sharing this with us!
