Salmon Fishcakes Food

QUICK ASIAN FISHCAKES

Steps:

• Whack the lemongrass against your work surface and remove the tough outer layer.
• Peel the ginger, then very finely chop with the inside of the lemongrass and most of the coriander, stalks and all, reserving a few nice leaves in a bowl of cold water.
• Chop the salmon into 1cm chunks over the mix on your board, then push half the salmon to one side.
• Chop the rest until super-fine, almost like a purée, then mix the chunkier bits back through it and season with sea salt and black pepper.
• Divide into 4, then shape and squash into 2cm-thick patties.
• Place a large non-stick frying pan on a medium-high heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
• Cook the patties for 2 minutes on each side, or until nicely golden.
• Spoon the chilli jam over the fishcakes, add a splash of water to the pan, turn the heat off, and jiggle to coat.
• Serve sprinkled with the drained coriander.

SALMON CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the salmon on a sheet pan, skin side down. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast for 15 to 20 minutes, until just cooked. Remove from the oven and cover tightly with aluminum foil. Allow to rest for 10 minutes and refrigerate until cold.
• Meanwhile, place 2 tablespoons of the butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil, the onion, celery, red and yellow bell peppers, parsley, capers, hot sauce, Worcestershire sauce, crab boil seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large saute pan over medium-low heat and cook until the vegetables are soft, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. Cool to room temperature.
• Break the bread slices in pieces and process the bread in a food processor fitted with a steel blade. You should have about 1 cup of bread crumbs. Place the bread crumbs on a sheet pan and toast in the oven for 5 minutes until lightly browned, tossing occasionally.
• Flake the chilled salmon into a large bowl. Add the bread crumbs, mayonnaise, mustard, and eggs. Add the vegetable mixture and mix well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Shape into 10 (2 1/2 to 3-ounce) cakes.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large saute pan over medium heat. In batches, add the salmon cakes and fry for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, until browned. Drain on paper towels; keep them warm in a preheated 250 degree F oven and serve hot.

RATTAN DIRECT

Steps:

• 1 Place the salmon fillets on a baking tray and add salt, lemon juice, and a smear of butter. 2 Cover with foil and bake at 350F for about 20 minutes, or until the salmon just turns opaque and flakes apart when pressed. 3 Boil the potatoes in salted water until tender. Drain and stand for 5 minutes to dry out and then mash. 4 Place the onions, butter, and oil with a pinch of salt in a small frying pan. Cook gently until soft but not browned. Add the vinegar and cook until evaporated. 5 Flake the fish in a bowl with the ash and add the onions and parsley. Mix gently so as not to break down the fish too much. 6 Divide the mixture into 8. Keep them well-floured and it won't stick. 7 Shape into patties. 8 Coat the fishcakes first in flour, then egg, then crumb. Use one hand for the wet and one hand for the dry; this way you don't end up with a mess, needing to wash your hands. 9 Mix together the ingredients for the tartar sauce. 10 Fry the fishcakes in half an inch of sizzling oil, until golden brown all over. 11 Serve with the tartar sauce.

SALMON AND COD FISHCAKES

Steps:

• Bring the potatoes to the boil, adding a pinch of salt. Turn down heat and cook for 20 minutes. Drain and mash thoroughly to get rid of lumps. Add 4 tablespoons butter, salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Combine the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl to make a marinade. Dip the fish in it and wrap each piece in foil, with a sprig of parsley. Put parcels in fish kettle or on baking sheet. Add boiling water and steam for 10 to 12 minutes until the juices flow. Remove from silver foil and check for bones. Flake it into big chunks and combine with the mashed potatoes in a big bowl.
• In a frying pan, saute the chopped shallot, scallions, chives, parsley, fennel, dill, garlic and chile in 4 tablespoons butter and olive oil until soft. Combine with potatoes and fish. Cover with cling-film and leave to chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes, see Cook's Note*.
• Remove and form the fishcakes using a dessertspoon and pat them into shape. Dust with flour. Heat sunflower oil in frying pan until very hot and fry the cakes for 3 or 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Dry them on paper towels.
• Garnish with parsley and slices of lemon.

FETA SALMON FISHCAKES

Steps:

• Peel the potatoes, cut into chunks and boil until tender.
• Drain and mash (without butter or milk) until smooth and leave to cool for a few minutes.
• Meanwhile, put a little of the oil in a frying pan and when it is heated, add the red pepper and salmon fillet.
• Use a fork to break the salmon into pieces, then cook the fish until it is flaky and the red pepper until it is soft, about five minutes.
• When the mash is cool, season it generously with black pepper and then sift the flour over the top.
• Use a wooden spoon to mix the flour in until it disappears.
• Whisk the egg and add it to the mixture, stirring well.
• Crumble the feta over the top and snip the chives into the bowl.
• Finally add the red pepper and salmon and stir again to mix evenly.
• Dust your hands with flour and form the mixture into patties.
• You can make 12 cookie sized patties or 6 larger cakes.
• Add the rest of the oil to the frying pan and, when very hot, lay out some of the potato cakes but be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
• Fry for three minutes to form a thin, crisp layer, then carefully turn to cook the other side.
• Keep warm in the oven while you finish cooking.
• Serve dusted with parmesan and sprinkled with a few extra chives.
• By the way, if you find forming the patties difficult, you can also just drop the potato mixture into the pan for more irregular but less messy fish cakes.

SALMON & GINGER FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Toss the chips in a roasting tin with 1 tsp oil. Season and bake for 20-25 mins.
• Chop the salmon as finely as you can and place in a bowl with the ginger, lime zest and seasoning. Heat 1 tsp oil in a non-stick pan and soften the spring onions for 2 mins. Stir into the salmon, mix well and shape into 4 patties.
• Heat remaining oil in the pan and cook the patties for 3-4 mins each side until golden and cooked through. Cover with a lid and leave to rest for a few mins. Serve 2 patties each with the chips, mayo and lime wedges for squeezing.
