Salmon patties

Method

• Step 1
  Place the potato in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Place over high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to medium and bring to a simmer. Cook for 10 minutes or until tender. Drain well. Use a fork to coarsely mash. Set aside for 10 minutes to cool slightly.
• Step 2
  Add the salmon, lemon rind, half the dill, half the green onions and 1 egg and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Divide mixture into 8 even portions and shape into 6cm discs.
• Step 3
  Place the flour, remaining eggs and breadcrumbs in separate bowls. Dip a salmon cake into the flour to lightly dust. Dip in the egg then roll in breadcrumbs to coat. Place on a plate. Repeat with remaining salmon cakes.

• Step 4
  Heat the oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Add half the salmon cakes and cook for 2-3 minutes each side or until golden brown and heated through. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel. Repeat with remaining salmon cakes.
• Step 5
  Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, capers, gherkins, remaining dill and green onions in a small bowl.
• Step 6
  Divide salmon cakes among serving plates. Top with mayonnaise mixture. Serve immediately with mixed salad leaves.
