1. Mix the salmon, mash, dill and lemon zest together and add enough egg to bind everything without making the mixture too soft. Shape into 2 large or 4 small cakes and put in the fridge to chill for 5 minutes.
2. Dust the cakes in flour and then fry them gently in a little oil on each side until they brown. Throw in the capers and a knob of butter, and brown briefly. Serve the cakes with the buttery capers and a winter-ish salad.

  This is a delicious recipe, easy to make and healthier than fish fingers. My 2 year old daughter loves these.

  I was in a hurry and no time to let the mash cool down. Big mistake for despite leaving the fishcakes to cool, they were too soft. Also had no dill and used parsley. However they were very nice despite being soft and squashy. I just fried up some potatoes and served with homemade coleslaw and grren salad. We scoffted the lot and did not feel too full afterwards.

  This is a good quick supper and a brilliant way to use up leftover mash. I used tuna as I didn't have any tinned salmon and that worked fine. I also squeezed in some extra lemon with the butter and capers. Super speedy.
