Fish Cakes

Preparation & Cooking about 1 hour

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

• 300 g potatoes, peeled and chopped into chunks

• 100 g salmon fillet, skin on (wild pacific coho salmon)

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• 1 tablespoon wholemeal flour, extra for dusting

• 1 small handful fresh parsley

• 1 organic egg

• 1 lemon, zest

• 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

Method:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil. Peel your potatoes, chop them into even sized chunks and add to the boiling water and bring back to the boil.

• Rub the salmon fillet all over with a little olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.

• When your potatoes have halfway cooked, place the salmon into a colander, then cover this with foil, and place the colander over the pot of boiling potatoes. Turn the heat down and cook for 8-10 minutes, until the salmon and potatoes are both cooked.

• Remove the fish from the colander and put to one side.

• Drain the potatoes in the same colander, then return them to the pot and let them steam dry for a minute. Mash the potatoes.

• When the potatoes are cooled, put them into a bowl and flake the fish (skin removed) into it with 1 tablespoon of flour.

• Add the egg and chopped parsley with salt and pepper. Finely grate over the lemon zest, then mash and mix it up really well.

• Dust a plate with a little of the extra flour. Divide your fish cakes into 4, lightly shape and pat into circles about 2 cm thick, dusting them with flour as you go. Put them into the fridge for an hour before cooking – this will allow them to firm up slightly.

• Heat olive oil in a large frying pan on medium heat and cook the fishcakes for about 3 – 4 minutes on each side or until crisp and golden.
