One of my favorites recipes to make with leftover grilled salmon or fresh cooked cod.  I was at the store the other day and they had a sale on some nice looking cod.  Granted it wasn't the fresh cod that I get from my fish monger but, works wonderfully in this fish cake recipe.  If you like fish sandwiches, I suggest you try this as well.  The type and amount of mashed potatoes used is up to you.  Pick a fish, pick your potatoes and pick a sauce - make some - you won't be sorry! ~Enjoy!

Homemade Fish Cakes {or Fish Sandwich}
*can be made with cooked/flaked salmon or cod

Ingredients & Directions:

Combine about 12 oz of cooked flaked fish (I used cod this time but, just as great with salmon) and 3 medium potatoes (I used Yukon golds) that have been cooked and mashed in a large bowl with:
6 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
1 Tbs cornstarch
1 heaped Tbs capers, chopped, *optional
Grated zest of 1 lemon
1 Tbs lemon juice *more if preferred 
2 egg, lightly beaten
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Pour about 3 Tbs of plain flour onto a plate. Drop about 1/4 cup of the fishcake batter into the flour and press it lightly to form a round pattie. Use two tablespoons (of floured hands) to flip and dust it until lightly coated on both sides, I keep my patties about 3/4" in thickness. Shake of excess flour and place fishcake onto a wax paper lined tray/plate. Repeat until all mix is used up.

NOTE**At this point, the fishcakes can be frozen for future use if desired. or chill for at least one hour in refrigerator before cooking.

To cook, heat about 2 Tbs canola oil in a large heavy non-stick frying pan and fry several fish cakes at a time over medium heat, about 5 mins on each side flipping midway until golden brown. If cooking from frozen, don't bother defrosting, just fry straight from the freezer for about 10 mins each side.

I let my hot fishcakes set on paper towel to drain off some of the oil before plating and serving. Serve with a lemon wedge, extra dill and tartar sauce or salsa. Another option is to make yourself a Filet-O-Fish Sandwich by placing onto a warmed bun with your favorite sauce (SO MUCH BETTER - HOMEMADE!)

~Enjoy! Diane
