Recipe for "salmon-spinach"

NAME

     SALMON-SPINACH - A baked salmon and spinach loaf
     This recipe is a pleasant compromise between a  salmon  loaf
     and a spinach souffle. It can be made with stale spinach and
     canned salmon. It does not have a strong flavor  or  texture
     of spinach, as do some cooked spinach dishes.

INGREDIENTS (Serves 4)

     500 g     salmon (1 large can)
     350 g     fresh spinach
     2         eggs
     300 ml    condensed mushroom soup (1 can)
     30 g      cornflakes (uncrushed)
     25 g      all-purpose flour
     40 g      grated fresh onion

PROCEDURE

          (1)  Preheat  oven  to  175  deg.  C.   Rinse   spinach
               thoroughly.
          (2)  Cook spinach with a small amount of water for 5-10
               minutes, or until tender.  Discard cooking water.
          (3)  Clean salmon as desired, and drain excess liquid.
          (4)  Place salmon, spinach, eggs, undiluted soup, corn-
               flakes,  flour,  and  onion  in large mixing bowl.
               Beat with electric mixer at medium speed for about
               three minutes or until ingredients are chopped and
               mixture  is  blended.  Stop  to  scrape  bowl  and
               beaters as needed.
          (5)  Grease a 22x10x6-cm loaf pan and pack the  mixture
               in.  Bake  for  40  to 50 minutes or until set and
               lightly browned.
          (6)  Cool slightly  before  serving.   Do  not  try  to
               unmold;  serve  directly from baking pan. The fin-
               ished loaf will have  the  consistency  of  spoon-
               bread.

NOTES

     You can substitute concentrated dried cream-of-mushroom soup
     for  canned  condensed  soup,  or use a thick flavored white
     sauce.
     There is no point  in  using  good-quality  salmon  in  this
     recipe; chum or pink salmon are fine.

RATING

     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 10 minutes preparation, 1 hour bak-
     ing and cooling.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
