I just made this at a friends house and thought i'd share it on here. It was so tasty, and i think its pretty healthy. Salmon Fishcakes with Red Onion and Lemon Salad. The amount of some of the ingredients will depend on how many you are cooking for.
Ingredients:
Salmon Fillets
Potatoes
1 Egg
1 Lemon
Round Lettuce
1 Red Onion
2 Tomatoes
Pepper, Salt
Half a cucumber
Olive Oil
1. Peel and chop potatoes. Cook on hob until soft enough to mash
2. In the last 5 minutes of cooking the potatoes (which take around 20 minutes depending on how small the pieces are) steam salmon fillets in a metal colander over a pan of boiling water.
3. Once done, mash the potatoes (you can add a little butter if you are feeling naughty), and remove the skin from the salmon.
4. Flake the salmon, mix with the potato, along with some very finely chopped red onion (only a small amount needed), 1 egg, lemon zest and pepper to taste.
5. Preheat oven to 180-200.
6. Roll the mixture into small balls, drizzle a little olive oil on each side, and also spread some on a baking tray. Place each fishcake on the baking tray.
7. Sprinkle with pepper.
8. Cook in oven for 30 minutes until the outside starts to brown.
While you are cooking the fishcakes you can prepare the salad, which is the two tomatoes, the leftover red onion, round lettuce and sliced cucumber. You can use a quarter of the lemon over the salad (or more, depending on how big the salad is). Serve it with the fishcakes when done. You can add some dijon mustard or sour cream to dip the fishcakes in or you can squeeze the remainder of the lemon over the fishcakes.
I have to say this meal was so lovely, i don't usually like salad, but the lemon over it made it just so tasty. It doesn't look much on the plate but it seriously fills you up.
Plus i should add that this entire meal, which made 8 fishcakes, cost less than £5 in the supermarket. I got the recipe of the Sainsburys website. The salmon was the most expensive at £2.50 but everything else was so cheap.
