Healthy fishcakes offer a delightful and nutritious option for a meal. By combining salmon with fresh herbs and spices, you can create a flavorful dish that's also good for you. In this recipe, we'll guide you through the steps to make delicious and wholesome fishcakes using simple ingredients.
Instructions:
- If using fresh salmon, cook it by steaming, poaching, or baking until just cooked through, about 10-15 minutes.
- Let the salmon cool slightly, then flake it into a large mixing bowl using a fork. If using canned salmon, drain it well and place it in the mixing bowl.
- In the bowl with the salmon, add the eggs, mayonnaise, mustard, dill, paprika, and chopped scallions.
- Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
- Gradually add the bread crumbs to the salmon mixture, combining until the mixture holds together. You may not need to use all the bread crumbs.
- Shape the mixture into patties about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. This recipe should make approximately 8-10 fishcakes, depending on size.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Carefully place the fishcakes into the hot skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Fry each fishcake for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a spatula to flip them gently.
- Once cooked, transfer the fishcakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
- Serve warm, with your choice of side dishes such as a green salad, steamed vegetables, or a light tartar sauce.
Tips:
- For added flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice to the fish mixture.
- Make sure the salmon is well-cooked and flaked evenly to avoid large chunks in the fishcakes.
- If you prefer a spicier kick, increase the amount of paprika or add a pinch of cayenne pepper.
- Using panko bread crumbs can give your fishcakes a lighter, crunchier texture.
- The fishcakes can also be frozen after frying; just bake them directly from the freezer for an easy future meal.
Cooking healthy fishcakes at home is a simple and rewarding process. Combining fresh salmon with a medley of flavorful ingredients results in a dish that's both tasty and nutritious.
