Preparation
Step 1
Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 20 minutes until tender. Drain and tip back into the pan.
Step 2
While the potatoes are cooking place the salmon in a small pan with enough milk to cover. Add the bay leaf and a strip of lemon zest and then put on a medium heat and let it come to the boil. Boil for one minute and then cover with a lid and turn off the heat.
Step 3
Mash the potatoes with a masher, adding in 1 tbsp of the milk in which the fish was poached. Lift the fish out of it's pan and flake into a large bowl.
Step 4
Add the mashed potatoes, spring onions and parsley to the fish. Grate over some more lemon zest and mix everything together.
Step 5
Divide into 4 and shape each part into a patty (use flour to stop it sticking to your hands). Place on a plate and put in the fridge to firm up for up to 30 minutes.
Step 6
Put the bread into a blender and whizz into crumbs. Put these on a plate. Put the egg onto another plate and the flour on a third.
Step 7
Coat all of the cakes in the flour and then the egg and then the crumbs.
Step 8
Heat olive oil in a large frying pan and add the fishcakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until both sides are golden.
Step 9
Serve with a salad and enjoy!
