Jamie’s Coriander and Lemon Salmon Cakes

Makes 8-10 patties

3 medium-sized mashing potatoes
1/2 bunch coriander, leaves washed and chopped
2 shallots (scallions), washed, chopped (use white and green parts)
finely grated rind of 1 lemon
250g fresh, uncooked Atlantic salmon (frozen is fine), chopped
1 tablespoon sweet chilli sauce
1 egg, beaten
breadcrumbs
oil for frying

1. Peel, boil and mash potatoes, but don’t add any butter or milk to the mash.
2. Put the coriander leaves, shallots, lemon rind, chilli sauce and salmon into a bowl and mix together well.
3. Now add the mashed potatoes and the egg, and beat together very well to combine everything.
4. Spread out some breadcrumbs on a plate, then use a largish spoon to take a dollop of mixture. Roll into a patty shape. This recipe should make 8-10 patties, maybe more, depending on how big or small you make them.
5. Heat a frying pan to medium, then when it’s well warmed add some oil for shallow frying, and fry the patties for about 5 minutes either side, until golden brown. Drain on paper towels, then serve with your favourite steamed vegies, or a green salad.

Notes: for this recipe my home-grown ingredients were the coriander, shallots, lemon and the salad greens. You can buy frozen Atlantic salmon at Coles and Woolies in 250g packs.

But wait there's more!
