  • “We enjoyed this salmon loaf very much, nice and moist. I made it from a left over baked salmon we had instead of canned. Turned out great. I did double the lemon juice and changed the sage to dill, personal preference. We also left the crackers off the top, didn’t really need it, and i wanted to try a chopped egg sauce i found by Lorac. It did go very nicely with your salmon loaf. Thanks for sharing, it was very good.”

  • “This was quite tasty. I did find it called for a few things which were a little tedious. Buttered bread crumbs for example. The extra butter at the end–unnecessary. The fish is oily as it is, so the bread crumbs alone will be fine next time, in addition to not adding the last melted butter. I used egg replacer, non-hydrogenated margarine, and soymilk. Next time I will add less salt, more pepper, more sage. This time I used dried parsley also, next time fresh (maybe fresh sage too). I’ll probably use shallots next time too, instead of regular onions, and minced fine. Didn’t use a topping and didn’t cover it. Because the fish, again, is oily, no topping or cover is needed, nor is any sauce. The loaf gets a nice crispy little curst on it. Next time I might try a free form loaf on a cookie sheet, as I did find it a tad difficult to get pieces out of the loaf pan, but then that could be because I could’ve cooked it longer and/or because I used non-dairy substitutes.”

  • “This is a great salmon loaf recipe. I was looking for one that tasted like my mom’s. This was even better. I didn’t put the cracker topping on and was pleasantly surprised at the unique taste of the sage. This is definitely added to our list of regular recipes.Thanks!”

  • “No doubt about it – this was the best salmon loaf I’ve ever eaten! The recipe was easy, the end result moist & delicious. I combined some BBQ’d smoked salmon leftovers with a small tin of salmon; since the instructions didn’t indicate what to do with the juice from the tin, I opted to include it in the mixture. I used dried parsley & included the sage but skipped the topping. Served along with a tossed salad & my own garlic mayo, we enjoyed a tasty, healthy meal. Thanx dojemi! “

  • “This was a very good and simple salmon loaf.I used green pepper in mine but next time I’m going to try the parsley.Thanks for posting.”

  • “wonderful loaf. i was lazy and just tossed the ritz crumbs into the mixture instead of reserving it for a topping. it made the texture that much better so i wish i had added more. my husband has asked me to make this for him again. thanks for the recipe.”
