Description
Serve this with a nice green salad to complete the meal. It is one of my favourite weekend treats.
Ingredients
- Potatoes
- Flour
- Salmon Fillet
- Egg
- Sweet Red Pepper
- Feta Cheese
- Parmesan Cheese
- Chives
- Vegetable Oil
- Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Peel the potatoes, cut into chunks and boil until tender
- Drain and mash until smooth and leave to cool for a few minutes
- Meanwhile, put a little of the oil in a frying pan and when it is heated, add the red pepper and salmon fillet
- Use a fork to break the salmon into pieces, then cook the fish until it is flaky and the red pepper until it is soft, about five minutes
- When the mash is cool, season it generously with black pepper and then sift the flour over the top
- Use a wooden spoon to mix the flour in until it disappears
- Whisk the egg and add it to the mixture, stirring well
- Crumble the feta over the top and snip the chives into the bowl
- Finally add the red pepper and salmon and stir again to mix evenly
- Dust your hands with flour and form the mixture into patties
- You can make 12 cookie sized patties or 6 larger cakes
- Add the rest of the oil to the frying pan and, when very hot, lay out some of the potato cakes but be careful not to overcrowd the pan
- Fry for three minutes to form a thin, crisp layer, then carefully turn to cook the other side
- Keep warm in the oven while you finish cooking
- Serve dusted with parmesan and sprinkled with a few extra chives
- By the way, if you find forming the patties difficult, you can also just drop the potato mixture into the pan for more irregular but less messy fish cakes
