Picnic Salmon Loaf
The Picnic Gourmet
Joan Hemingway and Connie Maricich

16 oz. can red salmon, drained and skin and bones removed
8 oz. package cream cheese at room temperature
1 Tbsp. lemon juice
2 tsp. grated onion
1 rounded tsp. prepared horseradish
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. liquid smoke seasoning
1/2 cup coarsely chopped pecans
3 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley
Parsley sprigs
6 cherry tomatoes
6 smoked oysters
Mix the salmon, cream cheese, lemon juice, onion and seasonings together in a bowl, mixing and mashing with a fork. Chill for several hours in a refrigerator, then shape into a small loaf. Roll the loaf in a mixture of the pecans and chopped parsley. Chill. Wrap in foil or plastic and put in a plastic container to carry to picnic. Garnish with parsley sprigs and cherry tomatoes stuffed with tiny smoked oysters which you have packed in a separate small container. This is good served with stoned wheat crackers.
