ZAR -Recipe! Salmon Fishcakes

WITH HUGE APOLOGIES FROM GEORGIE IT WAS POSTED LATE!! X


Mummy Bingham, hands down, makes the best salmon fishcakes. It is well worth getting an invite for any meal at the Bingham's house, but if you get served fishcakes, you must be pretty special!!

This version is the lazy version, easier and slightly healthier as they're baked in the oven as opposed to being shallow fried. Once made, they can be frozen. They're easy enough to make for a week night supper and are suitable for the kids too. I had them plain but you can serve them with a simple homemade tomato sauce if you like.

Serves 4

2 pieces salmon, about 350-400g
2 medium sized potatoes
2 shallots (spring onions)
Handful chopped parsley
Salt and pepper

Peel the potatoes and cut into 4. Put into a pan, cover with coldwater, add a tsp of salt, bring to the boil and simmer for 10 minutes or so until cooked. Steam the salmon pieces for 10-15 minutes.

Chop the shallots on the diagonal. Put the potatoes through a potato ricer or mash them. If needed, remove the skin from the salmon and flake the fish on top of the potato. Combine well with chopped shallots and parsley, salt and pepper.

Shape into 8 patties and place on a baking tray lined with baking paper. Bake in a 180 degree oven for 20 minutes.
