Instructions

Stay Awake

1 Preheat oven to 190°C. Line a baking tray with foil. Boil potatoes until tender. Drain. Mash potatoes in a large bowl with spread and half the milk.

2 Discard any salmon skin and bones. Add onion, salmon, parsley, lemon juice and rind to potato. Mix well. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes.

3 With lightly floured hands, shape mixture into 8 cakes. In a small bowl, beat egg and remaining milk together. Dip each cake in egg mixture, then dip in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating.

4 Place fish cakes on prepared tray and spray with oil. Bake for 25 minutes. Halfway through cooking, turn over and spray with a bit more oil. Bake until golden. Serve with a mixed salad.

HFG tip

To freeze salmon cakes, at the end of step 3 make sure fish cakes are completely cold, then wrap each one in plastic wrap. Place in a sealable freezer bag or airtight container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
