  i used baking potatoes and frozen broccoli for these fishcakes. Very nice, especially with a dollop of tartare sauce. My 17 month old loved them. Was a bit worried about not doing the whole flour/egg/breadcrumbs thing as most fishcake recipes advise but now realise its a complete waste of time and unecessary! Just wondering about freezability (cooked or uncooked) as there's no mention.

  I'm going to make this next week - I suggest adding toasted pine nuts to the salad as they go really well with avocado. @cleggystar - you can buy packs of ready poached salmon or you can do what I usually do and cook your own.

  Really tasty! I rolled in some coarse breadcrumbs before frying and it added a nice crunchy coat!

  Yes Marsha, works well with tinned salmon, just as well as the price of fresh salmon has rocketed recently as all fish has, fishcakes are an economy meal to me and don`t merit fresh salmon!!

  Tasty but messy. I used fresh salmon. The flavour was nice, but the mixture fell apart while frying and in the end it all tasted a bit dry.

  Delicious! A little messy to make but worth it! I added wholegrain mustard to the cakes and served them with lemon & parsley mayonnaise.

  So, it doesn't matter which recipe I use the fishcake, never keeps its shape.....it basically starts disintegrating in the pan.......any recommendations on where I am going wrong? Note, this time I even slightly under cooked the potatoes, dried the potatoes, broccoli and salmon, so that they are not so soft, but still the disintegrated :(

  @peaceasia : leave the cakes in the pan without trying to move or turn them for a good couple of minutes. It's the cooking that helps them stick together so don't be tempted to go at them with your spatula too soon :-)
