Salmon, dill and potato cakes

Salmon, dill, and potato cakes are a tasty and nutritious dish that's perfect for any meal. Combining fresh salmon, herbs, and potatoes, these cakes are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients. Here’s a simple guide to make them effortlessly at home.

Ingredients:

2 potatoes
400g
1 lb salmon
450g
1/4 cup fresh parsley
16g
2 tbsp dill
30g
1 cup scallions
50g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup bread crumbs
44g
1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks.
- Add the potato chunks to a pot of salted water and bring to a boil.
- Cook the potatoes until they are tender when pierced with a fork, about 10-15 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes thoroughly and mash them in a large bowl. Set aside to cool.
2. Cook the Salmon:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Place the salmon on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until it flakes easily with a fork.
- Allow the salmon to cool slightly, then flake it into small pieces using a fork. Remove any bones.
3. Combine the Ingredients:
- Add the flaked salmon to the bowl with the mashed potatoes.
- Stir in the chopped parsley, dill, and scallions until well combined.
- Add the beaten egg and mix until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Stir in the bread crumbs to help bind the mixture together.
4. Form the Patties:
- Using your hands, shape the mixture into patties. Aim for a uniform size so they cook evenly.
5. Cook the Salmon Cakes:
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Lightly coat the pan with a short spray of cooking spray oil.
- Place the salmon cakes in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
- Cook each side for 4-5 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside and heated through on the inside.

6. Serve:
- Once cooked, transfer the salmon cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Serve your salmon, dill, and potato cakes warm with a side of your favorite dipping sauce, salad, or vegetables.

Tips:

- Ensure the potatoes are well-cooked for easy mashing and incorporation into the mixture.

- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the salmon mixture slightly before forming the cakes.

- Chill the mixture for about 15-20 minutes in the fridge before shaping the cakes. This helps them hold together better while cooking.

- Use fresh herbs for the best flavor. If you can’t find fresh dill or parsley, dried herbs can be used but in smaller quantities.

- Make sure your pan is hot before adding the cakes to ensure a nice, crispy exterior.

- Serve the cakes with a squeeze of lemon and a side of green salad for a complete meal.

Salmon, dill, and potato cakes are a versatile and satisfying dish that can be enjoyed by the whole family. With simple ingredients and straightforward preparation, you can bring a gourmet touch to your dining table. Try making these at home and enjoy their delightful flavors!
