  - Combine sauce ingredients. In a small bowl, whisk together the cream cheese, almond milk, dijon mustard, lemon juice, fresh dill, and minced garlic.

  Make sure you allow it to chill a little bit before serving as it tastes best that way.
  Tips for Salmon Loaf
  This salmon meatloaf has a simple yet tasty flavor. But if you ask me, the salmon loaf sauce really takes it to the next level!
  The dill sauce provides a great contrast to the baked texture of the loaf. The fresh flavors compliment the salmon so well, it really brings out the full taste of the fish.
  Finally, if you don’t have salmon on hand, you can substitute it pretty easily. In fact, any flaked cooked fish meat should work for this recipe. It’s a great way to use up leftovers.
  No matter what kind of fish you use, I still recommend making a batch of sauce to go with the loaf!
