Salmon & Pea Fish Cakes

Ingredients

  • 8 oz fresh salmon fillet, boneless
  • 2 medium potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 1/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp flour (for dusting)

Method & Instructions

  1. 1

    Boil the potatoes in water until tender (about 15 mins). Drain and mash until smooth.

  2. 2

    While potatoes cook, steam or pan-sear the salmon until fully cooked (flakes easily with a fork). Remove skin.

  3. 3

    In a bowl, flake the salmon into small pieces, checking rigorously for any bones.

  4. 4

    Combine mashed potato, flaked salmon, thawed peas, and lemon juice. Mix gently.

  5. 5

    Shape into 8 small, round patties.

  6. 6

    Lightly dust each patty with flour to prevent sticking.

  7. 7

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook patties for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.

  8. 8

    Allow to cool. Cut into strips for younger babies.

  9. 9

    SAFETY REMINDER: Double check for bones even in 'boneless' fillets.
