Method

  1. If you're using leftover cooked potatoes, mash them until they are smooth. Flake the salmon into a bowl, removing any skin and large bones. Add the peas, mint, tartare sauce and mashed potato, and season to taste. Mix well, then, using floured hands, shape into 8 flat fishcakes. Dust with flour.
  2. Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the fishcakes in 2 batches for 3-4 mins each side, turning carefully with a fish slice or spatula, until golden and crisp. Serve with a squeeze of lemon and a green salad.

Making it with tuna or veggie

Use a drained 418g can tuna instead of the salmon or to make it vegetarian, replace the salmon with 200g pack feta cheese, crumbled.

Taste team comment

'These fishcakes were a revelation! I liked the contrasting texture of peas versus mash and fish. The hint of mint gave them a tangy lift.'

    My standby fishcake recipe, but be careful not to make them to thick as this adds to cooking time & can cause them to be over cooked on the outside.
