How to Make Delmonico Salmon Loaf

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour until smooth.
  3. Gradually whisk in 1 cup of milk and 1/4 cup of reserved salmon juice, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens to a creamy consistency.
  4. Remove from heat and gently stir in 2 cups of flaked cooked salmon (about 1 pound), 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. Pour the salmon mixture into the prepared loaf pan.
  6. Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until the loaf is set and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
  7. Let the loaf rest for 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Garnish with fresh dill and serve with hard-boiled eggs or caper sauce.
