Elevated salmon fishcakes with a gourmet touch.
Ingredients:
  • 200g salmon fillet, skin removed, pin-boned
  • 100g smoked salmon, chopped
  • 500g mashed potato (from about 3 potatoes)
  • 1 onion, coarsely grated
  • 20.00 ml chopped flat-leaf parsley leaves
  • 20.00 ml chopped chives
  • 3 eggs
  • 19.80 gm whole-egg mayonnaise
  • Sunflower oil, to shallow-fry
  • 50g plain flour
  • 420g breadcrumbs
  • Salad leaves, to serve
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
  • 100ml whole-egg mayonnaise
  • 150ml creme fraiche or sour cream
  • 1/4 preserved lemon*, flesh and pith discarded, rind finely chopped
  • 20.00 ml finely chopped chives (optional)
Instructions:
  • Prepare a baking tray by lining it with parchment paper.
  • Steam the salmon fillet in a bamboo or metal steamer over simmering water for 6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
  • In a bowl, combine salmon fillet, smoked salmon, potato, onion, parsley, chives, 1 egg, and mayonnaise. Season with sea salt and freshly ground pepper, then mash together using a potato masher. Shape into 8 balls, flatten into patties, and chill on a tray while you make the mayonnaise.
  • Combine mayonnaise, creme fraiche or sour cream, preserved lemon, and chives, then refrigerate until serving.
  • Heat a large, deep frypan with 3-4cm of oil over medium-high heat until a cube of bread turns golden in 30 seconds when tested for temperature.
  • Next, lay out the flour and breadcrumbs on separate sheets of baking paper. Whisk the remaining 2 eggs in a small bowl. Dredge the salmon fishcakes in the flour, dip into the beaten egg, and coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs.
  • Fry the fishcakes in two batches until crispy and golden. Plate them on a bed of fresh salad leaves, top with preserved-lemon mayonnaise, and serve with lemon wedges on the side for squeezing.
