Ingredients
- 2 medium Russet potatoes
- 250 grams Salmon fillets (cooked and flaked)
- 1 large Egg
- 100 grams Breadcrumbs
- 2 stalks Green onions (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (finely chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel the potatoes, cut them into chunks, and boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and allow them to cool slightly.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, mash the potatoes until smooth. Add the flaked salmon, egg, 50 grams of breadcrumbs, green onions, parsley, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and lemon zest.
Step 3
Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should hold its shape when pressed together. If it is too wet, add a bit more breadcrumbs.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each into a patty about 2 cm thick.
Step 5
Place the remaining 50 grams of breadcrumbs on a plate. Lightly coat each patty in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the cakes in batches for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm with a side of salad, tartar sauce, or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice.
