Salmon Loaf Supreme - cooking recipe

1 (1 lb) can salmon
1/2 cup milk
3 cups soft breadcrumbs
1/4 cup butter or 1/4 cup margarine, melted
1/3 cup salmon liquid
3 egg yolks, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped onions
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/8 teaspoon pepper
3 egg whites, stiffly beaten

Preparation

Drain salmon, reserving liquid.
Flake salmon.
Scald the milk, add breadcrumbs and butter and let stand 5 minutes.
Add salmon liquid and beat until smooth.
Add egg yolks,onion,lemon juice,pepper,and salmon;mix thoroughly.
Fold in egg whites.
Pour in a well greased 1 1/2 quart loaf pan.
Bake in 350 degree oven 50 to 60 minutes or until firm in the center,remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
Loosen from side of pan with a spatula and invert onto plate.
I usually make creamed peas to go with this or sometimes I use a can of celery soup diluted with half a can of milk, both ways are great.
This has been a favorite of mine for years, it is a little fussy but trust me, it is worth it.
