Salmon Fish Cakes
This is another most favorite family recipes. I make these so often and every single time my little boy says, Mummy it is yummy ;) That's all I can ask for. Unlike the traditional fish cakes where the fish used is raw, I bake the fish first and then add it to the rest of the ingredients and it still tastes absolutely delicious.
A very simple lunch, dinner or a great lunch box filler. Make them into bigger patties and you can make burgers too with them. It is all about getting creative in the kitchen. We like it simple just the way it is, dipped with some ketchup for the kids and hot sauce for the adults. Serve it with some fresh salad on the side, A perfectly well balanced meal ready in no time. I served these with sprouts salad, the combo was out of this world :)
You can use any flaky fish instead of salmon for this recipe, like cod or hake, just make sure you do not have any bones in it. You can even add any other veggies of your choice, grated carrots, red or yellow pepper, mix and match the spices of your choice, this recipe is so versatile , but no matter what combinations you use or like it always turns out perfect.
