350g mashed potatoes
350g salmon, cooked and flaked
4 Tbsp dill, finely chopped
4 Tbsp finely chopped spring onions
3 Tbsp finely chopped parsley
salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 lemon zested.
100g toasted breadcrumbs
oil for shallow frying
For the crumb:
1 Cup flour
3 free range eggs beaten
2 Cup toasted breadcrumbs
Method:
Combine the mashed potatoes and salmon in a large mixing bowl. Add the dill, chives and parsley before seasoning with salt, freshly ground black pepper and lemon zested. Mix the ingredients together with the breadcrumbs and set aside for 10 minutes.
Shape the mixture into equally sized patties before coating lightly in the flour before dipping into the beaten egg. Place your egg coated fishcake into the breadcrumbs and ensure all of the fishcake is crusted.
Heat oil for shallow frying before frying your fishcakes for about 3 minutes a side or until perfectly golden and crisp.
