Does the words salmon fishcakes make you think of something rather nasty and tasteless from school dinner days? It used to do that with me but my salmon fishcakes are truly tasty and packed with lovely ingredients that make them both a treat to eat and healthy too. That’s a lot more than can be said about the school dinners at my school.
These salmon fishcakes are perfect for lunch or supper, just add a nice salad and you’re good to go. Like all fishcakes they have potato inside them so you really don’t need to dish them up with either potatoes or chips on the side.
I’ve used a mixture of normal potatoes and sweet potatoes in my salmon fishcake recipe. It gives a different taste and just a little bit more interest.
I have also used capers in my recipe which adds a bit of a zing and of course some fresh herbs, parsley and dill, which go so well with salmon.
I have used horseradish in my salmon fishcakes, make sure you use prepared horseradish and not just horseradish sauce. Prepared horseradish is just the plant istelf with no additives like the sauce.
This recipe makes four salmon fishcakes so enough for two people.
