During the Depression, Mom's tasty salmon loaf was a welcome change from the usual meat loaf everyone made to stretch a meal. I still like a lot of the make-do meals of those days, but this loaf is one of my favorites. -Dorothy Bateman, Carver, Massachusetts

We had this at our synagogue's Shabbat Dinner for new members and DH loved it. So, I asked the cook for her recipe and here it is. You can substitute saltine crumbs for the matzo meal. Per Dee do not substitute for "real" sour cream.

GRANDMA'S SALMON LOAF



Grandma's Salmon Loaf image

This is the closest I could come to the salmon loaf my Grandma used to serve, always with a baked potato, often with a side of broccoli. It works great with reduced fat Ritz crackers (I have tried it out), skim milk, egg substitute and olive oil instead of butter, which brings the saturated fat content WAY down while keeping the flavor and texture.
