One thing I quite like about this recipe as that as the fishcakes need some chilling & firming time, you can get them done quickly, bung them in the fridge and then turn your attention to getting the sauce and wedges ready. It’s all actually very easy and quick.
These really are great fishcakes: crisp on the outside yielding to a light and fluffy centre, I will definitely be making these again.
Salmon Fishcakes with Tartare Sauce & Lemony Baked Wedges
serves 2
For the fishcakes
200g cold mashed potato
212g tin of red or pink salmon (bones & skin discarded)
7.5g unsalted butter, melted
small pinch of cayenne pepper
¼ lemon, zest only
small pinch of salt
small pinch of pepper
1 medium egg, whisked
50g panko breadcrumbs
25g unsalted butter
200g cold mashed potato
212g tin of red or pink salmon (bones & skin discarded)
7.5g unsalted butter, melted
small pinch of cayenne pepper
¼ lemon, zest only
small pinch of salt
small pinch of pepper
1 medium egg, whisked
50g panko breadcrumbs
25g unsalted butter
1 tbsp vegetable oil
For the tartare sauce
juice of ½ lemon
1 heaped tbsp capers, chopped
1 heaped tbsp 0% Greek yogurt
1 heaped tbsp mayonnaise
½-1 tsp dijon mustard
1 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
sea salt & freshly ground black pepper
For the potato wedges
2 medium potatoes, each cut into 8 wedges1½ tbsp olive oil
½ lemon, juiced
1 tsp chopped fresh rosemary
½ tsp chopped fresh thyme
2-3 garlic cloves, left whole & unpeeled but given a bit of a bash
In a large bowl mix together all the fishcake ingredients, up to the egg (and only mix in half of the egg) with your hands.
Taste & adjust carefully for seasoning if required, set aside.
Put the olive oil, lemon juice and rosemary in a roasting tin with some salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss well until they are coated with the lemony & herby oil.
When the wedges are about 10 minutes away from being done, take out the fishcakes. One by one, dip the fishcakes into the beaten egg and then dredge with the panko, turning them and giving the sheet an occasional shake as you go to help coat them.
