Ingredients
Instructions
- Flake the canned salmon and add the salmon liquid to it.

- Sprinkle dry bread crumbs on top of the mixture.

Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider using fresh herbs like dill or chives instead of parsley flakes. You can substitute the canned salmon with canned tuna for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a creamier texture, add a bit of cream cheese or sour cream to the mixture. For a healthier option, use whole grain noodles.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the salmon noodle bake with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. It pairs beautifully with a side of garlic bread for a comforting dinner. For a more substantial meal, consider serving it alongside a tomato-based soup, such as Clam Chowder(From Market-Street Grill).

Frequently Asked Questions
