Ingredients

  • 2 potatoes
  • knob of butter
  • 1 tbsp whole milk
  • 2 salmon fillets
  • 1/2 a tin of sweetcorn
  • The juice of half a lemon
  • 1 tsp parsley (dried or finely chopped)
  • Breadcrumbs (2 slices of bread)
  • Black pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

Method

  • Peel and wash the potatoes, cut them into small cubes and boil until soft.
  • Drain the water from the potatoes and add the milk, butter and black pepper then mash until smooth.
  • Cook the salmon.  I did this in the microwave on a plate with clingfilm over the top.  It took approximately 4 minutes until it was cooked through.
  • Flake the salmon and add to the mashed potato.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients and mix well.
  • Once the mixture is cool enough, mould into burger shapes. (We got 6 large fishcakes from this mixture but you can make them whatever size you want!)
  • Coat each fishcake in breadcrumbs until they are well covered.
  • Place on a baking tray, lightly sprayed with cooking spray (or oil of your choice)
  • Cook in the oven for 25 minutes at 180°c until golden.
  • Serve and enjoy!

These can be made in batches and frozen to eat another day.  To defrost, just take the fishcakes out of the freezer a few hours before you want to eat them. then once defrosted pop them in the oven to warm them up before serving.
