Cooking Steps
• 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.
- 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.
- 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.
• 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.
• 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.
• 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!
Customer reviews
Review summary
Updated on Sept 2026- Flavour: The fish cakes were enjoyed by many for their golden crust and the zesty lemon cream cheese pairing, though several found the overall flavour mild, with the potato overpowering the salmon and dill.
- Ease of prep: The recipe involves multiple steps — cooking salmon, prawns, mashing potato, and shaping patties — which some found fiddly and time-consuming.
- Suggestions: Multiple reviewers noted the breadcrumbs were insufficient to coat all six patties, so having extra on hand is a good idea. Several also found the patties fell apart during cooking and suggest mixing the ingredients more thoroughly or adding extra flour to help them hold together. One reviewer noted pulling bones from the salmon before mixing, so checking the fillet carefully is worthwhile.
- Portions: The radish salad was considered basic and uninspiring by several customers; adding extra vegetables or a more flavourful dressing could lift it.
