Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams Salmon fillet (skinless)
- 300 grams Potatoes (floury, e.g., Russets)
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 stalks Scallions (chopped)
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
Peel and chop the potatoes into small chunks. Boil them in salted water for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain well and mash them until smooth. Let cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooling, poach the salmon. Place the salmon fillet in a skillet and cover with cold water. Bring to a gentle simmer and poach for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish flakes easily. Drain and allow to cool before flaking into pieces.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flaked salmon, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, scallions, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently to combine.
Add the egg to the mixture and mix thoroughly. If the mixture feels too wet, sprinkle in a small amount of breadcrumbs (from the 100 grams) to bind it.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape them into patties about 2 cm thick.
Coat each patty evenly with the remaining panko breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the fishcakes in batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Serve immediately with a side of salad, tzatziki, or lemon wedges for garnish.
