Method

  1. Boil the potatoes until tender then mash with lots of seasoning. Cook the spring onions in a little butter until softened then add to the mash with the herbs and lemon zest and mix in. Gently mix in the trout then leave to cool a little. Form into 8 cakes then dip each first into the beaten egg, then the breadcrumbs. Chill for an hour to set.
  2. Heat a little oil in a non-stick frying pan. Cook the fishcakes for 3-4 minutes each side until golden and crisp. Keep warm in a low oven while you finish the rest. Serve with dressed salad leaves and lemon wedges.

    I was recently given some trout and wanted to do something different. These were easy to make and excellent to eat. Janet

    Made these for my little boy and was quite suprised how bony the fillets were - so added quite a bit of time to sort through those. Apart from that it was easy - and will use again as a basic recipe - perhaps try lime and coriander as a variation with salmon. Recipes doesnt mention poaching the trout before mixing in...but I guessed that it probably should.

    Tried this for my lunch today, with leftover trout from last night. Would make an excellent set of cheap meals - baked trout one night (with desired accompainments) and fishcakes the next, especially if like me you manage to get a trout for 80p. It was okay, a little bland (pepped it up with sweet chilli sauce and it was lovely) and I ended up with a lot of smoke in the kitchen. I'd probably do it again, but will need to read other recipes for hints on frying fishcakes. See my blog - http://ninegrandstudent.wordpress.com/
