Ingredients

  • For the salmon fishcakes:

  • 400g floury potatoes, boiled and mashed

  • 400g skinless salmon fillet, poached and flaked

  • 2 spring onions, finely chopped

  • 2 tsp capers

  • 1 tbsp finely chopped dill

  • grated zest and juice of ½ lemon

  • 50g butter

  • sea salt

  • black pepper

  • For the spicy dip:

  • 100ml crème fraîche

  • 1 tbsp peeled and grated Fresh horseradish root (jarred horseradish will do too)

  • grated zest and juice of ½ lemon

  • 2 tsp finely chopped flat-leaf parsley

  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges, plus a bunch of watercress (optional), to serve

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C.

  2. Place all the ingredients for the fishcakes except the butter in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Mix until all the ingredients are well combined.

  3. Divide the fishcake mixture into four balls and shape each into a patty.

  4. Place a frying pan over a medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the fishcakes and brown on both sides. Transfer the fishcakes to a baking tray and bake for 10 minutes.

  5. While the fishcakes are baking, mix all the ingredients for the horseradish cream together in a small bowl, and season with salt and pepper.

  6. To serve, place each fishcake on a warmed plate with a spoonful of the horseradish cream and a wedge of lemon, plus a handful of watercress, if you wish.
