Ingredient note
A serving of up to about 1/4 cup of blue cheese is low in lactose. This recipe contains only about 2 2/3 tablespoons per serving, making it likely fine on a lactose free diet. If you prefer to always avoid blue cheese, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp milk
Chef's tip
Lactose-free milk works 1:1 in cooking and baking and tastes slightly sweeter.
salt and pepper to taste

For serving

2 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped (optional)
celery sticks, for serving (optional)

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and brush or drizzle it with the olive oil.
2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped salmon, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, green onion tops, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined — the mixture should hold together when pressed but not be overworked.
