Method
- Put the leaves in a colander and pour over boiling water to wilt. Squeeze out the water with the back of a spoon and drain on kitchen paper to remove any liquid. Crush the potato salad pieces a little with a potato masher or fork. Mix with the salmon and wilted leaves; season. Divide into 8 and shape into patties.
- Put the fl our, egg and breadcrumbs in 3 separate shallow bowls. Coat each fishcake in fl our, then dip in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs, making sure they are all evenly covered. Transfer to a plate and put in the fridge for 15 mins.
- Heat the oil in a large frying pan over a mediumhigh heat and cook the fishcakes for 8-10 mins, turning halfway, until golden brown and piping hot throughout.
