Golden, pan-fried and packed with fresh dill, these salmon, prawns and potato fish cakes are a crispy-edged delight. Swipe them through a zesty cream cheese spread for a hit of tang, then balance the bite with a fresh, crunchy radish salad. It’s a sophisticated spin on a cafe-style brunch that works just as well for a light, elegant dinner.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

Cooking Steps

Make the mash
1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling 
water, then add a generous pinch of salt.
• Peel potato and cut into large chunks.
• Cook potato in the boiling water over high heat until 
easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and 
return to the pan.
• Season generously with salt. Mash until smooth and 
allow to cool slightly.


TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato 
unpeeled.  

Cook the salmon & the prawns
2
  • Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Pat salmon dry with paper towel and season both sides.
  • When oil is hot, cook salmon, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 2-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a large bowl, allow to cool slightly and flake into bite-sized chunks, discarding the skin.
  • Return frying pan to medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Cook peeled prawns, tossing, until pink and starting to curl up, 3-4 minutes. Transfer to a chopping board, then roughly chop.
Get prepped
3
  • While the salmon is cooking, thinly slice red radish.
  • Roughly chop dill (including stalk!).
  • Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges.
  • In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, lemon zest and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Season and set aside.
Make the fritters
4

• To the bowl with flaked salmon, add mashed 
potato, chopped prawns, dill, the egg, salt and plain flour.
• Using damp hands, shape mixture into 2cm-thick 
fish cakes (3 per person).
• Evenly spread fine breadcrumbs on a large 
plate. Carefully press salmon fish cakes into 
breadcrumbs, turning to coat.

Cook the fritters
5

• Return frying pan to high heat with enough olive 
oil to coat the base. When oil is hot, cook fish cakes 
until golden, 2-3 minutes each side.
• Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. 


TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook in batches for 
the best results! 
TIP: Add extra oil if needed to ensure the fish cakes don’t 
stick to the bottom of the pan. 

 

Finish & serve
6

• In a second large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, radish, a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
• Spread base of serving plates with zesty cream cheese, then top with salmon, prawn, dill and potato  fish cakes.
• Sprinkle over everything garnish (see ingredients) and serve with radish salad and remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!

Review summary

Updated on July 2026
  • Flavour: Some found the potato overpowering the salmon and dill; reducing the potato or boosting the dill and seasoning can help balance the flavour.
  • Ease of prep: Shaping the fish cakes takes a little patience, and cooking in batches helps achieve an even golden crust.
  • Suggestions: Ensure the mixture is thoroughly combined and add extra flour if needed to help the fish cakes hold together. Checking the salmon carefully for bones before mixing is also worth the extra moment.
  • Leftovers: No substantive feedback was provided on this topic.

  • Portions: The breadcrumb coating can run short, so having a little extra on hand helps coat all the fish cakes evenly.
