To begin making Salmon Loaf I dumped three cans of salmon into a large mixing bowl and removed as much of the skin and bones as I could.

Next I diced up a bit of yellow onion.  I added the onion, large eggs, gluten free bread crumbs, almond milk, lemon juice, onion powder, pepper, salt and a bit of dill weed to the salmon in the mixing bowl.

Then I combined all the ingredients, mashing with a fork, until the salmon was broken up and all the ingredients were well incorporated.

After the ingredients were well blended I greased a 9″ x 5″ loaf pan.

Then I firmly pressed the salmon mixture into the loaf pan.

I placed the loaf pan into a preheated 350F oven for 50 – 60 minutes.

When it was almost time to take the Salmon Loaf out of the oven I mixed together a bit of sauce to top it off with.

In a small dish I combined some Miracle Whip, lemon juice, dill weed and salt.  You could also add some lemon zest if you are using fresh lemon for this recipe.

Once the Salmon Loaf was cooked through (it wil be firm to the touch and browned), I removed it from the oven.

I served it up immediately with some air fried potatoes and mixed vegetables.

Keep the Dill Sauce handy for people to use on their individual servings if desired.

Enjoy every bite of this seafood dinner loaded with salmon and seasoned to perfection.  This is how we were able to get our children to devour salmon!
