Salmon Dill Fish Cakes In 4 Easy Steps Recipes

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, place 1 1/2 cups bread crumbs. Set aside remaining 1/2 cup. Add eggs, parsley, green onions, dill weed, lemon juice and black pepper. Mix well.
• Add salmon and mix with hands, breaking up salmon into small pieces. Form into 8 patties; each about 1/2 inch thick.
• Place remaining 1/2 cup bread crumbs on a plate and dip both sides of the salmon cakes into crumbs.
• In a large skillet, melt butter. Fry salmon cakes over medium heat for about 3 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Turn, adding more butter if necessary, and fry about 3 minutes on other side.

Steps:

• Heat the grill.
• Place 450g floury potatoes, cut into chunks, in a pan of water, bring to the boil, cover and cook for 12-15 mins until tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry, then mash.
• Meanwhile, season 350g salmon fillet and grill for 5-6 mins until just cooked. Cool for a few mins, then break into large flakes.
• Mix the potato, 2 tsp tomato ketchup, 1 tsp English mustard, the zest of ½ lemon, 1 heaped tbsp chopped parsley, 1 heaped tbsp chopped dill and some seasoning. Lightly mix in the salmon, taking care not to break it up too much.
• Shape into 4 large fish cakes.
• Put 3 tbsp plain flour, 1 beaten egg and 100g dried breadcrumbs in 3 shallow dishes. Dip the cakes into the flour, dust off any excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat in breadcrumbs.
• Heat 4 tbsp sunflower oil in a large pan. Fry the cakes over a medium-low heat for 3-4 mins each side until deep golden and heated through.
• Serve with salad and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler or prepare grill on top of stove.
• Chop whole onion; wash and chop dill, and rinse capers. Mix ingredients together with horseradish and egg whites in a bowl large enough to hold all the ingredients.
• Grill or broil salmon following the Canadian rule: measure fish at thickest point and cook 8 minutes to the inch. When salmon is cooked, flake and stir into bowl, and mix well. Shape into 4 patties.
• Grill patties on top of stove, or preheat a nonstick skillet and saute them until brown on both sides, about 4 or 5 minutes total.

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter together over a medium heat in a saucepan and add the shallot. Fry for a few mins, then add the flour and stir until you have a thick paste. Stir in the vermouth or sherry. Gradually add the milk, stirring all the time over a low heat until you have a smooth, very thick sauce (a similar consistency to mashed potato). Add the cayenne, nutmeg and lemon zest, season to taste, then remove from the heat. Stir in the salmon, dill and lemon juice. Spread the mixture over a plate (to speed up cooling), cover and chill for at least 1 hr.
• To make the fishcakes, put the flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs in three separate bowls. Scoop a large spoonful of the fishcake mixture (each spoonful should weigh around 115g) and roll lightly between oiled hands to form a ball or roll, before flattening lightly. Drop into the flour to coat, followed by the egg and then the breadcrumbs.
• Heat enough oil to cover the base of a large frying pan. Shallow-fry the fishcakes over a medium-low heat in small batches for 5-6 mins on either side or until golden brown and crispy. Drain on kitchen paper.
• For the horseradish yogurt, stir the ingredients together in a bowl until smooth and season with a little salt. Serve the fishcakes with a dollop of the yogurt and a fennel salad.
