Ingredients
  

For the Salmon Cakes:

  • 4-5 potatoes about 3 cups mashed potatoes
  • 450 g/2 cups canned or fresh salmon
  • 1 egg
  • Juice and zest of 1 lemon
  • 1 tbsp flour plus extra for dusting
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or dill chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for frying

For the Chive and Garlic Yogurt Sauce optional:

  • 125 ml/½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp chives chopped
  • 1 garlic clove pressed
  • 1 tsp lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Potatoes: Peel and boil the potatoes until tender, then mash them. Let the mashed potatoes sit and cool for a few minutes.
  • Make the Salmon Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, salmon, egg, lemon juice, lemon zest, flour, parsley or dill, salt, and pepper. Mix well until everything is combined.
  • Form the Cakes: Using your hands, shape the salmon mixture into patties, about the size of your palm. Dust each cake lightly with flour to help them crisp up during cooking.
  • Prepare the Salmon Cakes: In a large skillet, warm the olive oil over medium heat. Cook the salmon cakes for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until they achieve a golden brown and crispy texture. Once done, move them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  • Prepare the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, chives, pressed garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Serve: Serve the salmon cakes hot with the chive and garlic yogurt sauce on the side. If desired, finish with extra parsley or serve alongside lemon wedges for a burst of flavor.
