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.

Moist, light and tasty. I used half butter and half olive oil and added a dab of French mustard, horseradish and dill to the Olive cream sauce. As in your photo, served with lemon wedge and dill. Excellent
