• 6oz/175g Bulgar wheat; uncooked
• 8 fl oz/250ml semi skimmed milk OR- evaporated skimmed milk
• 6oz/175g Finely chopped carrots
• 6oz/175g Chopped red pepper
• 6oz/175g Finely chopped onion
• 1 Garlic clove, crushed
• 2 tabs Lemon juice
• 1 tab Chopped flat-leaf parsley

• 1 teasp Sea Salt
• ¼ teasp Pepper
• 6 oz/175g Boned poached salmon - flaked
• 3 Eggs OR- 1 egg and 2 egg whites

  Horseradish Sauce

• 8oz/250ml Sour cream OR ½ sour cream and ½ low-fat yoghurt
• Freshly grated horseradish - (to taste)
• 2 tabs Finely chopped spring onion
• 1 teasp Lemon juice

  Method

  Combine bulgur and half-and-half or evaporated skim milk in a glass bowl.

  Cover with cling film and prick a couple of times.

  Microwave on High 3 to 3½ minutes. Let stand, covered, for 15 minutes. Meanwhile, sauté the vegetables with the garlic in a pan with 1 tab butter or oil.

  Combine the bulgur wheat, vegetables, and the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl.

  Press the mixture into a lightly greased 2½ pint loaf tin.

  Bake, covered with aluminum foil at 375F/190C for 35 to 45 minutes, remove the foil for the last 15 mins until cooked through but not dry.

  Take the salmon loaf out of the oven and leave to cool for 15 mins (this will make it easier to turn out and cut).

  Turn out onto a pretty plate.

  Serve with a green salad and new potatoes. Put the horseradish sauce in a small bowl on the side.

  Tip

  If you can’t find any fresh horseradish, use a good quality shop bought horseradish sauce and mix a little sour cream or yoghurt into it to taste.

  * the reason that salmon loaf receipe is spelt incorrectly is not because I can't spell "recipe" but because some people do type "receipe" into the search engines by mistake and by including it here it helps the engines to find the page.
