Fish Cakes Recipe
This recipe makes about six salmon patties. We served them topped with mayonnaise and chopped dill. You will need about 2 medium potatoes for this recipe.
130g cooked potato (boiled, steamed or microwaved)
210g tin salmon (this should yield about 130g of salmon meat)
1 tablespoon (20ml) mayonnaise
2 teaspoons finely chopped parsley
1 large egg yolk (we use eggs with a minimum weight of 59g)
3 teaspoons grated onion
Salt and pepper
Coating
1 egg
1 tablespoon (20ml) milk
About 2 tablespoons (25g) plain flour
Rounded 1/2 cup (50g) dry breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon (20ml) oil, for frying
Roughly mash cooked potato and allow to cool.
Remove skin and bones from salmon and flake into large pieces.
Place salmon, potato, mayonnaise, parsley, egg yolk, onion, salt and pepper into a bowl.
Gently stir ingredients to combine.
Refrigerate mixture for about 30 minutes to firm up.
Place egg and milk into a small bowl and beat together with a fork.
Shape cooled mixture into about six balls and lightly coat with each ball with flour.
Roll a ball in egg and milk mixture then coat with breadcrumbs, flattening the ball slightly to form a patty shape. Repeat with remaining balls.
Heat oil in a frying pan. Cook patties over medium heat for a few minutes on each side, until patties are golden brown and cooked through. © www.exclusivelyfood.com.au

could you use tuna instead for this recipe? My family don't really like salmon. I find my recipe of tuna patties tend to fall apart too much. They are too messy to make.
Hi Therese,
Yes, canned tuna should also work in this recipe.
These turned out really well. They were not falling apart like my other recipe for Tuna patties. I will definitely be making them again.
delicious! i made these fish cakes last night and they were complete success - thanks!
Can you use cod for this?
Excellent recipe! I added cubed capsicum and sweet corn to the mixture as well. Very yummyyy.
Fantastic recipe for my boys, used cooked cod instead. We all loved it!
Hi Lucinda
Any type of cooked, strongly flavoured fish should be suitable. We don't recommend using fish with a very mild flavour because it might make the fish cakes too bland.
I am going to make this for the first time tonight. What is it best served with. My family do not like salad
Hi Gae
You could try serving the fish cakes with hot chips, or some steamed or boiled vegetables.
hi guys. Would you recommend freezing these?
Hi Jess
Unfortunately we have never tried freezing these fish cakes, so we can't advise if the taste or texture would be altered. Please let us know the results if you decide to give it a go.
These fish cakes were moist and tasty.
I used a large tin of high quality tuna instead of the salmon.
When I coated the balls I did not use milk I used the left over egg white with another egg.
Next time I want to try baking them in the oven on an oven rack to cut down fat. I will spray them with a light dusting of olive oil.
I tried this recipe but only had tuna and salmon in the pantry so I used BOTH and added CHEESE. They were so moist and delicious... thanks for the great recipe it was a real hit!
HI thank you very much this is a very delcious meal we used tuna instead of salmon, we also put corn in it. We will be making these again for sure.
These were an absolute hit when i made them. To cut down on fat I grilled them in the oven for five minutes each side and they came out perfectly.
My husband made these for dinner last night and they where absolutely scrumptious served with slivers of mango and a lovely Italian tomato and basil salad he makes. very simple but fantastic Thanks for the recipe
