Salmon Fish Cakes (Rustic Style)

Ingredients

  • 4 small jacket potatoes — cooked, scooped out, and flesh reserved
  • Fresh salmon — roughly 250–300g (enough to make 4 fish cakes)
  • Dried dill — a generous sprinkle
  • Lemon juice — to taste
  • Plain flour — for coating
  • 1 beaten egg — for dipping
  • Homemade breadcrumbs — for coating
  • Salt & pepper — to taste

Method

  • Preheat your air fryer to 180°C.
  • Cook the salmon until just done, then flake it into a bowl.
  • Add the scooped potato flesh to the salmon and mix gently.
  • Season with dried dill, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
  • Shape into 4 equal fish cakes.
  • Coat each fish cake in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finish with homemade breadcrumbs.
  • Air fry at 180°C for approximately 25 minutes.
  • Always check before the cooking time ends — look for golden colour and crisp texture.
