Dilly Salmon Loaf

1 (15½ oz.) can salmon, drained and flaked

2 cups fresh bread crumbs (great to use up some of that leftover sourdough bread in the freezer)

2 eggs, beaten

¼ cup finely chopped onion

3 tbsp. butter, melted

2 tbsp. lemon juice

½ tsp. salt

½ tsp. dill weed

Preheat oven to 350º

Combine all ingredients in large bowl and mix well.  Shape into loaf (my mother always put it in copper fish casserole pan) and place in a greased baking dish.  Bake 40 minutes.  Let stand 5 minutes and top with lemon dill sauce before serving.

 

Lemon Dill Sauce

1/3 cup butter

¾ cup mayonnaise

1 egg

¼ cup lemon juice

1 tbsp. sugar

¼ cup chicken broth

¼ tsp. dill weed

Melt butter in sauce pan and stir in remaining ingredients.  Cook over medium heat until thickened.  Do not boil.  Refrigerate leftovers.

Just a side note: This is not one of my better recipes. I was struggling with something for D and Dill came to mind.  I thought of doing a dill egg salad sammich and probably should have went with that idea.  Sometimes when a thought comes to mind, stick with it... don't second guess yourself.  Tall Cool ☺ne said I had to include a disclosure with the post.  I told him salmon is an acquired taste and some people might like it.

Enjoy♥

Welcome to the 2018 A-Z Blogging challenge.  This will be my fourth year. Every year I take on the challenge with hopes of disciplining myself to keep writing throughout the year as much, if not more than just through the monthly challenge. (It certainly is a challenge.)  Some years are better than others.  Some I just lose track of time.  This year I have decided to put my favorite hobbies together. A recipe that is tried and true as well as some thoughtful insight.  Please note some of these recipes have been shared before, however they have gone through years of testing and this is the perfected recipe.  I really hope one of my recipes or “Food for Thought” inspires you to do something great.  Enjoy the read and the photos, try the recipe, share your thoughts or comments, and most of all, have FUN with the challenge this month!

 

Cheers,

1¼ lb lean ground beef

2 eggs

1-2 slices oatmeal bread (preferably the end pieces) crumbled

½ tsp pepper

1 tsp Italian seasoning

1 tsp chili powder

2 tbsp ketchup

1 med onion, chopped

1 med green pepper, chopped

3-4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tbsp butter

1 tbsp olive oil

Heat butter and oil in small skillet until butter is melted, add garlic and cook until fragrant.  Add onions and green peppers and sauté about 5 minutes, just until onions are translucent.  Remove from heat.

In large bowl combine beef, sausage, bread, eggs, ketchup, chili power, Italian seasoning and pepper.  Mix well and add cooled onion mixture.  Grease muffin tin.  Divide meat into equal portions in 12 count muffin tin.  Pack meat in tightly.

Bake at 375° for 30 minutes.  Remove from oven and let stand for 10 minutes before removing from tins.

Creamy Soy Sauce

1 cup heavy whipping cream

3 tbsp soy sauce
