Salmon and Cod Fish Cakes
I had a little salmon and cod to use up, not enough to make a meal out of either, so I came up with this recipe the other night, to use them both together. We really enjoyed them served over salads and I made a tangy mayonnaise relish to go over the top of the cakes which went well with them. The amounts listed below for the fish are just what I had in my fridge and I am sure could be adjusted slightly.

Ingredients

330g Salmon, cooked and flaked
370g Cod cooked and flaked
1 Stick celery, diced
1 Small red pepper, diced (about 1/2 cup)
3 Green onions, thinly sliced
3 Cloves garlic, crushed
3 Tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
2 Tablespoons dill, finely chopped
1/2 Teaspoon cayenne pepper
3 Medium eggs or 2 Large eggs
Panko flakes (I have not listed amount as I was not measuring I am guessing about 1/2-3/4 cup in total)

Mayonnaise Relsih

1/2 Cup mayonnaise
3 Tablespoons pickle relish
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
2 Teaspoons creamy mustard
1 Green onion, finely sliced
1 Tablespoon chopped chives.

Method

Mayonnaise Relish

1. Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.

Fish Cakes

1. In a large bowl combine all the ingredients down to the panko flakes, add a few tablespoons of panko flakes to the mix to bind ingredients together.

2. Shape into patties, you will get about 6 large or 8 medium patties from this.

3. Pour more panko flakes onto a plate, coat the outside of each pattie with panko flakes.

4. Heat a little oil in a pan, add patties and cook both sides, until browned and crisp on the outside.

Serve on buns or over salad as I did and top with relish.
