Sunday Brunch Salmon Cakes


SALMON FISH CAKES TOPPED WITH DILL & YOGHURT DRESSING(Serves 4)
Ingredients
  • 450g Potatoes, cut into chunks
  • 350g Salmon (about 3 fillets)
  • 2 tsp Tomato sauce - I substituted fresh diced 
  • 1 tsp English mustard
  • Zest of ½ a lemon
  • 1 tbsp Chopped parsley
  • 1 tbsp Chopped dill
  • 3 tbsp Plain flour - GF option: ground oat flour
  • 1 Egg, beaten
  • 100g Dried breadcrumbs GF option - roasted ground chic peas (garbanzo beans)
  • 4 tbsp Sunflower oil
Method
  1. Place the potatoes in a pan of water and bring to the boil. Cover and cook for 12-15 minutes until tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry, then mash.
  2. Season the salmon and grill for 5-6 minutes until just cooked. Cool for a few minutes, then break into large flakes.
  3. Mix together the mashed potato, tomato sauce, mustard, herbs and some seasoning.
  4. Gently mix in the salmon, taking care not to break it up too much. Shape into 4 large fish cakes.
  5. Put the flour, egg and breadcrumbs in separate shallow dishes. Dip the cakes in the flour, dust off any excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat in breadcrumbs.
  6. Heat the oil in a large pan. Fry the cakes over a medium-low heat for 3-4 minutes each side until deep golden and heated through.
  7. Dress and serve with dill and Danone Nutriday plain yoghurt.
