Vampire Loaf of Salmon
Makes 4 to 6 servings
4 large salmon fillets (about 2 pounds)
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 cup finely chopped pimento olives
1/4 cup instant diced onion
1/4 cup parsley flakes
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon lemon juice
8 ounces bottled cocktail sauce with horseradish
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
Heat oven to 350F. Salt and pepper salmon fillets. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, then flake into large bowl.
To bowl, add bread crumbs, olives, onion, parsley, red pepper, eggs, cream, oil, lemon juice. With hands, mix thoroughly to combine. Line sheet pan with parchment paper or foil and coat with butter or cooking spray. On prepared pan, form salmon mixture into a rectangular “neck”-shaped loaf.
Bake uncovered for 40 minutes. Using two wide spatulas, transfer loaf to serving platter. Decorate salmon “neck” with “streams of blood” (cocktail sauce). Serve immediately, while haunting organ music plays.
