  1/4 tsp/1 mL pepper

  2 eggs, lightly beaten

  Substitutions
  • If you don't have whole wheat cereal, use a dry ingredient that you have on hand - like rolled oats, bread crumbs or cracker crumbs. Add enough so that the mix is moist but not wet.

  • Use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of bottled.

  • Use about 2 Tbsp/10 ml fresh parsley in place of the dried parsley.

  Ideas for making this recipe your own

  • Add more spices. Try tarragon, oregano, rosemary, or whatever your imagination suggests. Or how about some garlic?

  Tips

  • I prefer using a glass pie plate for this recipe. The slices of salmon pie slides out easily, and the pie plate washes up well. A metal or tin pie plate works just fine, too, though.
