Salmon Patties

Salmon patties are tasty, and a great way to have burgers while still catering to people who follow the pescetarian* lifestyle.  The problem with salmon patties is that, when bought preformed, they are quite expensive.  Just like hamburgers though, one can make them at home for a much more reasonable price!

Ingredients:
1 can (~15 oz.) Salmon
1 package (8 oz. ) Sour Cream
1 stick butter or margarine
2 eggs, beaten
2 1/2 cups corn flakes
1 stick celery, diced
~5 mushroom stems

Equipment:
1 spoon (for mixing)
1 bowl
1 gallon zip-top bag
1 large frying pan
measuring cups

Directions:
  1. Open and drain the can of salmon.
  2. Place the salmon in the bowl.  Pick out any large bones, such as the spine.
  3. Pre-heat the pan.
  4. Measure out the corn flakes and place in the zip-top bag.  CRUSH THEM!
  5. Combine all the ingredients in the bowl.  Mix well.
  6. Form into patties, and place in hot frying pan. DO NOT ADD WATER TO THE PAN.
  7. Let the patties alone.  Once the patty is brown on one side, flip.
Makes enough for a party of 8.

Possible Alterations:
The celery and mushroom stems are just fillers.  The recipe has too much liquid without them.  They could easily be replaced with something else.  The reason one doesn't add water to the pan because then the patties will just fall apart.

Happy Gaming!

*Pescetarianism is the practice of maintaining a diet involving fish, dairy, and eggs while excluding other meats.
