Salmon and Potato Cakes
RECIPE
Ingredients
Makes 6
1 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon baby capers
4 anchovies
4 sprigs fresh parsley
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 tablespoon mustard
1 small Spanish onion, roughly chopped
sea salt
freshly ground black pepper
400g salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 2-3cm pieces
1 large potato, boiled and cut into 2cm pieces
1 egg, whisked
baby salad leaves to garnish
Method
To prepare the dressing, place the mayonnaise, capers, anchovies, parsley, lemon juice, mustard and Spanish onion in a blender, season with salt and pepper and blend until smooth. Add a little milk if the dressing is too thick. Cover and refrigerate until required.
In a large mixing bowl, place the potato, salmon, egg, salt and pepper and mix well to coat evenly. The egg will help hold the cakes together. Heat a large frying pan to a moderate heat (Induction level 5), add the oil and the butter and allow to foam slightly. Place a few egg rings in the frying pan and carefully spoon the potato-salmon mixture into the centre of each mould and allow to cook for at least 2 minutes before removing the ring. Using a fish slice carefully turn the cakes over and allow to colour slightly, before removing from the pan. Set aside in a warm place until you have cooked all six cakes.
Place the cakes on a serving plate and spoon over the dressing. Top with a small salad and a little cracked pepper.
