    Very nice! I couldn't get tinned salmon so used fresh cooked and it worked out really well. But yes, it would be nice to know how many spring onions one should put in there...

    I used two spring onions for this and golden breadcrumbs as had no bread in the house to make real ones! Very tasty and perfect with salad for a light evening meal. My other half wants me to double it next time!!

    I doubled the amount and made 8... used only 2 spring onions.. in hindsight should have used 4.. very nice and pretty easy.. good for using up that tin of salmon lurking at the back of the cupboard.. very nice.. I would serve with green salad and lemon dressing..

    The fishcakes were beautiful and very easy to make. I didn't have time to do my own mash so I bought already made mash and it was just so easy. The recipe was also extremely versatile as one of my guests didn't like fish so we added sweet corn and different cheeses as a substitute to a few cakes so everyone was very happy.
