Salmon Loaf
TOTAL TIME: Prep: 20 min. Bake: 40 min. + standing

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
