For ages, I’ve wanted to make Salmon Rillettes and this year I finally got around to it. It’s a great time right now, during Lent to buy any fish or seafood! So I tried a few recipes and realized that Salmon Rillettes (at least the recipes I’ve tried) were nothing more than a fancy French name for Cold Salmon Salad!

As a child, I don’t think anything struck more terror in my heart than learning dinner was Grandma’s Salmon Loaf. It was on regular rotation during both Advent, the weeks leading up to Christmas, and Lent, before Easter, when there were many days of fasting, abstinence, and obligation when meat wasn’t served. I’ve always thought about making a post for that Salmon Loaf, but just never could do that to y’all – or to me! So that’s prompted me to come up with Not Grandma’s Salmon Loaf!
Not Grandma’s Salmon Loaf – this is the recipe that will win you over!
So yesterday, I posted Ina Garten’s Guacamole, and while that’s perfect for just about any party or gathering, it’s really perfect with Ina Gartens Salmon & Guacamole Sandwiches.

I wish I could say that this was an attempt at healthier eating in 2018. It wasn’t though. I actually made this when I picked up some salmon at Aldi at a killer price right before Christmas and it was kind of a special treat.

Way back in the 60s, when my parents threw the occasional party and this Smoky Salmon Spread was on the table. Mom would put it out in a sweet little silver bowl, looking all fancy. No one knew it was one of our dogs’ trophies; it was engraved on the bottom. 🙂
