Found this tucked inside my great-grandmother’s old cookbook and my husband said it reminded him of his childhood. Now he requests it every month.

Variations & Tips
For a slightly richer loaf, you can replace a few tablespoons of the milk with mayonnaise or sour cream, which was common in mid-century recipes. If you grew up with a stronger onion flavor, increase the minced onion to 1/3 cup or use a tablespoon of dried minced onion instead for a more pronounced, old-fashioned taste. A teaspoon of dried dill or celery seed can be added alongside the parsley for an herbier profile without straying too far from the retro feel. To make this a bit lighter, use low-sodium crackers and 2% milk, and skip the added salt, especially if your salmon and crackers are already seasoned. For a dairy-free version, swap the milk for unsweetened oat milk or another neutral plant milk and ensure your crackers are dairy-free.
