Ready, steady, salmon…

If you fancy some fishy, delicious, and healthy Omega 3 goodness then this recipe is perfect! Salmon is wonderfully tasty and this recipe really brings out its distinctive flavour. Give it a go and let us know how you like it! They’re normally served either on their own for a lunch, or with boiled new potatoes or sweet potato fries (the latter is my personal favourite).

Ingredients:

Makes 3 fishcakes.

– 1 large potato, peeled and sliced

– 2 salmon fillets

– Bunch of fresh coriander,

chopped

– 3 tbsp flour, extra for sprinkling

– 1 fresh chilli, chopped

– 3 spring onions, finely sliced

– 2 cloves garlic, chopped

– Juice of 1 fresh lime

– Frying oil

– Salt

– Pepper,

– Sweet chilli sauce.

Method:

1. Heat the oven to 180C/Gas Mark 4, grab the salmon fillets and put a dollop of sweet chilli sauce on them before placing them into the oven for 15 minutes, until cooked through.

2. Meanwhile, peel the potato and place it in boiling water for 15 minutes until cooked through.

3. Now remove your salmon from the oven and the potato from the heat and place both of them into a large mixing bowl (remove the salmon from its skin before doing this!)

4. Now with a fork, mash the potato and the salmon together until combined.

5. Mix in the garlic, coriander, chilli, spring onions and lime juice.

6. Mix this until it forms a paste.

7. Now mix in the 3tbsp of flour to the mixture until it is combined.

8. Using your hands, divide the mixture into 3 and roll it into patties.

9. Now dust the fishcakes with extra flour on both sides so they are covered.

10. Now grab a large frying pan and heat a good glug of oil.

11. Gently place one fishcake (or two if you have room) at a time into the oil and cook on one side for three minutes before gently turning.

12. Be careful not to flip them too early because they will fall apart.

13. Cook for three minutes on the other side until the fishcake is heated through as you desire.

14. Serve it with a scattering of coriander leaves and some extra sweet chilli sauce for dipping!
