Cripes! Soooo sorry.I forgot about this:

SALMON AND DILL FISH CAKES

PREP
100g-150gsFillet of fresh Salmon or Loins (take skin off and dice. Leave to soak covered in pure lemon juice for 2 hours in fridge).

400g fresh firm Fillet of white fish (use Monkfish, Hapuka, Wharehau, Blue Cod)
Poach using a saucepan stovetop in a ‘clutey’ of Milk, Bayleaf, 3-4 Cloves and ½ sliced Onion. Chilli flakes can be added as an option. Cook for 6-8 mins.

Peel and cook 4-5 medium sized potatoes in seasoned water. Drain. Mash with small amount of butter. The mash should be quite dry, so do not add any extra liquid as you might normally do when making mashed potatoes.

COMBINE
Mash seasoned potatoes and flake the poached fish with herbs;
½ c chopped parsleyeither Italian or Curly
6 T chopped fresh dill
Cover and leave to cool in fridge.

MAKE THE FISH CAKES

Using your hands, make a ball with the combined mixture above. Take a piece of the fresh salmon which has been marinating in lemon juice and insert into the ball. Use your hands to surround and cover the fresh salmon completely.Shape into quite fat fish cakes and place in FRIDGE.

Crumb your balls. Some people flour, egg and crumb.I just egg and crumb them. Return to the fridge.Fry or oven bake as usual. The crumbs I like to use are seasoned stuffing mixes. The crumbs are both large and small for an interesting texture.

Serve with crispy salad.

Pics to follow.
