This recipe will epitomize old-time cafeteria food for many
people--for better or worse. It's like a tuna casserole made
with canned salmon. Recipe card dated September 1949.


Active Work Time: 25 minutes * Total Preparation Time: 1 hour

1 (14 3/4-ounce) can salmon

1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup fine bread crumbs
1 cup diced celery
1/2 teaspoon paprika
3 tablespoons butter, melted
1 egg white
1/3 cup mayonnaise
