    After my 6 year proclaiming that salmon was his worst thing ever, he then went on to eat 4 of them! Added small chunks of black olive to mix and used coriander instead of parsley. Could maybe do with a little creme fraiche and lemon on the side or a chilli jam. But very good and could make as a canape too.

    These did not freeze well when using the above instructions. They just became mush when defrosted. However, I have tried frying them, freezing and then warming through in the oven and this works better.

    I made these for a dinner party and everyone loved them. I added spring onions instead of parsley and served them with a dollop of creme fraiche and a spoonful a salsa made with red onion, tomato and sweet chilli sauce. I did find them a little difficult to fry as they tended to break up a bit in the frying pan. I had to cook them quite quickly to seal the outsides, and they could have been a bit hotter in the middle. Next time I may either roll them in breadcrumbs (as suggested earlier) or fry them quickly to seal and then put in the oven for five or 10 minutes to make sure they are hot through.

    I made these the day before, they cooked very well , i replaced the salmon with lightly cooked cod . I think the trick is to leave in the fridge over night to set .
