Salmon and mushrooms? The combination isn't unheard of but here is a recipe that is worth a thought.  If you do buy cans of Salmon make sure if you can, that it is responsibly fished.



1 8oz can of Salmon
8oz cooked mashed potato
1 can of condensed cream of mushroom soup
2 teaspoons of lemon juice
1 dessertspoon parsley
(finely chopped)
salt and pepper

To coat:
1 egg beaten
browned crumbs

1. Flake fish and mix with mashed potato.  Stir in half a can of soup, lemon juice, parsley and seasoning.
2. Leave to stand for 30 minutes to 1 hour.  Divide mixture in to eight, shape in to round patties, brush with egg and coat in browned crumbs.
3. Fry in hot fat until golden brown on both sides.

For the sauce put the remaining soup in a small pan, add 2 tablespoons of milk and seasoning and beat well.  Heat gently and serve with patties.
