Method

  1. 1

    Peel and boil the potatoes until tender. Drain and mash until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Poach the salmon fillets in gently simmering water for 6 minutes. Drain, remove the skin and flake the flesh.

  3. 3

    Combine the mash, flaked salmon and sliced spring onions. Season well and shape into 8 fishcakes. Chill for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Set up three bowls: seasoned flour, beaten egg and breadcrumbs. Coat each fishcake in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs.

  5. 5

    Fry the fishcakes in the sunflower oil over a medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and heated through.

  6. 6

    Make the tartare sauce by mixing the mayonnaise with finely chopped gherkins and seasoning. Serve alongside the fishcakes.
