Salmon & tuna bread

I did the recipe 3 times, this one was the best !

I thought it had to rise and stay like that, actually it will flattn a bit, it doesn't matter what to do. I tried for nothing :) anyway, it was really good everytime !

I made a few changes to the recipe, it's now half tuna, half salmon, I think it makes it lighter
