Fish Cakes
Ingredients:
300g potatoes
1 tin of salmon (180g)
1 spring onion
Small handful of parsley
½ tsp fresh dill
½ red chilli
Serves: 2
½ lemon
1 egg
1 tbsp plain flour
Black pepper
1 tsp olive oil
Preparation
-
In a saucepan boil water. Chop the potatoes into even chunks and put into the boiling water. Cook until potatoes are tender.
-
Finely chop up the spring onion, parsley, dill and red chilli. Squeeze in some lemon juice and leave some lemon for later, for pouring over the fishcakes.
-
Place the fish in bowl, add in pepper, ½ tablespoon of flour and 1 tablespoon of egg. You may need more egg and flour later on, so start with a little.
-
Add the finely chopped ingredients to the fish. Stir everything together.
-
Check to see if your potatoes are cooked, then drain them.
-
Mash up your potatoes and allow to cool before adding to the fish mixture.
-
Time to make your fish cakes shapes. If the mixture is too wet you may need to add more plain flour.
-
Dust flour on the work surface and coat the outside of the fishcake with flour.
-
Heat a frying pan and add in the oil. Place your fishcakes in the pan and cook on both sides until golden brown.
