    This sounds delicious, but I have a question: The ingredient list doesn’t say anything about mayonnaise, but then the directions say to mix the salmon, egg white, … and mayonnaise. Should we include mayo, and how much?

    You need to read it again. There’s no mayo listed. You must really be hungry for mayo…

    I think you’re wondering what holds it all together. I think that is the purpose of the mashed potato.

    What exactly are capers? Animal? Vegatable? Mineral? I see them alot in recipes but it is never explained what they are.
