Low-Carb Salmon Loaf
Notes from Folks...
Hello,
I tried the Salmon Loaf but I think there is an ingredient missing. My Salmon Loaf was more like a Salmon Sloppy Joe. There are no breadcrumbs or anything substantial to hold the mixture together. Could you have left something out?

Hi Joanna,
After reviewing other low-carb Salmon Loaf recipes, it appears that there are no bread or cracker crumbs included to keep down the carbohydrates. One version recommended serving the loaf with celery sticks, more like a dip than a loaf. I've posted a "regular" version below for a more compact loaf, and another low-carb version that uses pork rinds for more bulk.
Hope this helps,

Salmon Loaf
1 (14.75 ounce) can salmon, drained and flaked
1 1/2 cups crushed saltine crackers
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup diced green bell pepper
1/2 cup diced onion
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 dash hot pepper sauce (optional)
black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, stir together salmon, crackers, egg, bell pepper, and onion. Mix in milk, Worcestershire sauce, and hot pepper. Season with black pepper. Mix well with your hands, and spread into baking dish.
Bake in a preheated oven until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 45 minutes. Cut into squares to serve.
