canned salmon drives this basket at $3.79, 21% of the total. The next biggest lines are 1% milk ($2.79) and celery ($2.59). $7.07 of the basket - 39% - is package remainder: food you buy because stores sell packages and recipes call for amounts. It does not vanish, it sits in your kitchen for the next meal.
This delicate salmon loaf is lower in calories than traditional meat loaf, and pairs well with steamed spinach or broccoli and roasted sweet potatoes.
