Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel and chop the potatoes into evenly-sized pieces.
- Place them in a pot of cold water, bring to a boil, and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until tender.
- Drain the potatoes and mash them. Set aside to cool.
- Place the salmon in a baking dish and season lightly with salt and pepper.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for about 15-20 minutes or until fully cooked.
- Allow the salmon to cool slightly, then flake it into large chunks using a fork.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes and flaked salmon.
- Add mustard, Worcestershire sauce, tomato sauce, capers, the zest of the lemon, and chopped parsley.
- Season with a little salt and pepper, and mix everything together until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties.
- Place the flour in one shallow dish.
- Beat the eggs in a second shallow dish.
- Place the bread crumbs in a third shallow dish.
- Dredge each fishcake first in the flour, then dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the bread crumbs.
- In a large frying pan, heat 1 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat.
- Add half of the fishcakes and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy.
- Transfer the cooked fishcakes to a plate and keep warm.
- Add the remaining olive oil and cook the remaining fishcakes.
- While the fishcakes are cooking, trim the green beans and steam them for about 5-7 minutes or until they are tender but still crisp.
- Alternatively, you can sauté the green beans in a little olive oil with a pinch of salt until tender.
- Serve the salmon fishcakes hot with the steamed or sautéed green beans and lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over the fishcakes.
Tips:
- Opt for fresh salmon, but canned salmon can also be used if you’re short on time.
- Boil and mash the potatoes ahead of time to save preparation time.
- Be gentle when mixing the salmon and potato mixture to retain a nice texture.
- Chill the fishcakes in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before frying to help them hold their shape.
- Use a nonstick pan to prevent the fishcakes from sticking and to reduce the amount of oil needed.
- Serve with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a side of tartar sauce for extra flavor.
With just a few steps and a handful of ingredients, you’ve crafted a mouth-watering meal that’s both nutritious and satisfying. These salmon fishcakes, complemented by tangy capers, zesty lemon, and aromatic herbs, are sure to become a favorite in your household. Serve them with a side of fresh green beans or a simple salad for a complete and balanced meal. Enjoy!
