Really pleased with this one! My family won't try new fish casseroles but they liked this! I even realized that I forgot one ingredient-the mayo- and it still was good. I'm anxious to try it again with all the ingredients!!

5 STARS! This is a very good alternative to the commonly made eggs+salmon+mayo+breadcrubs+seasonings recipes. Although it would be great with red sockeye salmon, I find it a good recipe to liven up the less expensive pink salmon. It also tastes fine when made with brown rice. Finding a healthy substitute for the four would probably achieve what the board request to replace breadcrubs may have been about. A nice thing about this recipe is that it is more a meal in itself than those without the rice.

Very easy to prepare and has a mild flavour so should suit kids who'll eat salmon. Cooking time was spot on and the loaf had an excellent texture. Tasted better hot than cold, and the texture suffered a bit after being in the fridge overnight. I added salt and lots of freshly cracked black pepper and not having any celery seeds subbed dill, so for this reason won't rate it. I served the loaf with caper sauce.
