- Boil the potatoes for 10-12 mins until soft. Drain well, then return to the pan to steam-dry for 1 min. Use kitchen paper to scrape off the skins. Transfer to a large bowl and mash. Add the lemon zest, capers, dill, chilli, Parmesan, spring onions and salmon; season. Mix well, then form into 8 cakes with your hands.
- Dust each cake with 2-3 tsp flour, then transfer to a plate and chill for 30 mins to firm up.
- Add enough oil to a large frying pan so that it comes 2cm up the sides. Fry the fishcakes over a medium heat for 4 mins each side or until golden.
- Meanwhile, boil the peas for 3 mins; drain. Return to the pan and mash lightly with the mint, butter and a little seasoning. Serve the fishcakes with the peas, and chips and tartare sauce, if you like.
