The title of this recipe "Easy Salmon Loaf", is way to humble. Lemon Salmon Mousse would be more appropriate. This is easy, value conscious and would be a proud addition to any special occasion buffet, do yourself a favor and try this one NOW! -
Easy to make and delicious. I also disagree with the serving sizes. I would say it serves no more than 4. -
This reminds me so much of my grandmother's salmon loaf. I made it for my family last night and everybody loved it. It is seasoned very mildly but has a good comfort food richness that I thought was great. The sauce is creamy and rich, too. Brings back some fond memories and I will be using this one a lot from now on. Glad I found it. Thanks Nurse Di. -
This was tasty and came together pretty easily. The instructions were easy to follow. For the loaf, I made it exactly as written. Next time I might add something to kick it up a bit. Maybe white pepper? For the white sauce I made a few changes I added chopped leek to the butter and dill to finished sauce. I disagree with the serving sizes, I would say it feeds 4, but then I have a hungry man living here..
