Create a delicious and healthy weeknight meal using canned salmon, potatoes, and herbs/spices.
Ingredients:
  • 500g potatoes (such as pontiac or desiree), peeled
  • 440g can red salmon
  • 1 small onion, peeled, grated
  • 2 celery sticks, finely chopped
  • 20.00 ml chopped fresh dill
  • 1 tsp grated lemon rind
  • 20ml (1 tbsp) lemon juice
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 40ml (2 tbsp) milk
  • 125.00 ml plain flour
  • 500.00 ml fresh breadcrumbs
  • Sunflower (or similar) oil, to fry
  • Mayonnaise, to serve
Instructions:
  • Cut the potatoes into rustic chunks, then boil or steam until tender. Mash until velvety smooth and transfer to a spacious bowl to cool.
  • After draining the salmon and carefully removing any bones, combine it with the potatoes, onion, celery, dill, lemon rind, and juice. Season with salt and pepper, and mix thoroughly. Shape the mixture into 8 patties using your hands, then chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  • In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk until combined. Prepare separate bowls with flour and breadcrumbs. Coat each patty first in flour, then in the egg mixture, and finally in breadcrumbs. Heat oil in a heavy-based saucepan over medium-high heat. Fry patties in batches until golden brown on both sides. Serve with a dollop of mayonnaise and cucumber salad.
