Method

  1. 1

    Poach the salmon in gently simmering water for 6 minutes, then drain and flake, removing any bones and skin.

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, combine the mashed potato, flaked salmon, dill, lemon zest, and seasoning.

  3. 3

    Shape into 8 equal patties, then refrigerate for 15 minutes to firm up.

  4. 4

    Set up a breading station: flour, beaten egg, and breadcrumbs in separate shallow bowls.

  5. 5

    Coat each fishcake in flour, dip in egg, then press into breadcrumbs.

  6. 6

    Open-freeze on a lined tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook from frozen at 200°C for 25 minutes, turning halfway.
