Weight Watchers Salmon-Dill Loaf Recipe | Simple Nourished Living (2024)

WW Recipe of the Day: Salmon-Dill Loaf

I'm a huge salmon fan and try to eat it as often as I can, since it's so good for you with all it's healthy omega-3 fats.

But fresh wild salmon can be expensive. So, when I'm feeling frugal I turn to canned salmon, a less expensive alternative that's also easier since it's already cooked.

Growing up the only way I remember Mom serving canned salmon was straight from the can, drained and turned out into a little serving bowl.

She would remove the skin and bones, break it up a bit and make a simple mustard sauce of mustard, evaporated milk and a little sugar, that I found absolutely delicious, to serve on top.

I've never attempted to replicate her simple canned salmon with mustard sauce—but sitting here writing about it—I find myself wanting to do just that very, very soon.

Recipe Notes

This recipe for salmon-dill loaf using canned salmon is a little more involved. I ran across it while skimming through Weight Watchers' Favorite Recipes (affiliate link) a Weight Watchers cookbook (affiliate link) dating back to 1986 that I recently picked up at Goodwill.

It's a compilation of favorite recipes from Weight Watchers members and staff, gathered during a contest held during the fall and winter of 1984-1985.

I thought this Weight Watchers Salmon-Dill Loaf had good flavor, but found the texture a little soft and mushy. This could be my fault, since I opted to bake it in a loaf pan (affiliate link), instead of on a sheet pan as directed.

I'm going to experiment with it a bit (adding a few dry bread crumbs and baking as directed) the next time I make it, to see if I can create a firmer texture.

It was a hit when served for dinner with mashed potatoes and peas. But then again, most anything and everything is a hit around here when served with mashed potatoes and peas 🙂
