Ingredients:
  • 6 medium (about 800g) desiree potatoes, peeled, coarsely chopped
  • 2 (about 500g) skinless salmon fillets
  • 4 green onions, ends trimmed, thinly sliced
  • 20.00 ml coarsely chopped dill
  • 1 tsp finely grated lemon rind
  • 20.00 ml baby salted capers
  • 4 cornichons (see note), finely chopped
  • 3 eggs, lightly whisked
  • 150g plain flour
  • 140g breadcrumbs
  • 125g mayonnaise
  • 125g sour cream
  • 21.00 gm lemon juice
  • 40.00 ml finely chopped chives
  • Vegetable or canola oil, to shallow-fry
  • 1 bunch watercress, sprigs picked
  • Lemon wedges, to serve
Instructions:
  • Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water while steaming the salmon for about 10 minutes until it's just cooked. Drain the potatoes and mash until almost smooth. Flake the salmon and mix it with the potatoes, onions, dill, lemon rind, capers, cornichons, and 1 egg. Stir thoroughly and season with salt and pepper. Allow it to cool slightly for 10 minutes before serving.
  • Prepare a station with three plates for flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Divide the salmon mixture into 8 portions and shape each into a 10cm-diameter patty. Coat each patty first in flour, then egg, and finally breadcrumbs. Repeat for the rest of the patties and place them on a plate.
  • Mix together mayonnaise, sour cream, zesty lemon juice, and fresh chives in a small bowl.
  • Heat a generous amount of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat until it reaches a 1cm depth. Cook the patties in two batches for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and heated through.
  • Garnish with watercress, lemon wedges, and lemon chive mayonnaise before serving.
