PANTRY PICKS: Salmon loaf
Canned salmon is an excellent and economic source of protein. It is a must have in my pantry for its versatility and ease of preparation. I know canned tuna is more popular because it doesn’t get packed with bones or skin. You can do one of two things to deal with the less desirable bits. Mash it all together, when mixed into recipes the skin and bone virtually disappear and will go undetected. I want to get the most bang for my buck and cash in on the extra nutrition those bits provide. The other choice is to pick it out. Whatever you choose, pull out that can of salmon from your pantry and make it part of your next meal.

INGREDIENTS
3 eggs
1 cup milk
3 cans (213g ea.) canned salmon, drained
1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
4 green onions, thinly sliced
Zest of 1 lemon
1 tsp dried dill (or thyme)
3/4 tsp salt
½ tsp ground pepper
COOKING INSTRUCTIONS
Preheat oven to 350F
- Spray a 9- x 5-inch loaf pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Whisk the eggs and milk together in large bowl. Add the salmon and break it up with a wooden spoon, mashing it as you go. Stir in the panko, green onions, lemon zest, thyme, salt and pepper.
- Tip the salmon mixture into the prepared loaf pan and firmly pack it in.

cream.
