Salmon & Broccoli Fishcakes
SERVES 5
1 small head of broccoli (approx. 120g)
220g fresh salmon wild sockeye if possible
2 tablespoons almond flour
1 egg
1 tablespoon mascarpone
1–2 tablespoons dill, chopped
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped
salt and pepper
Ingredients
In a blender, blitz the brocolli until it resembles coarse cous-cous. Be careful not to overblend the brocolli or it will become too wet.
Chop the salmon into 1cm chunks. Push half the salmon to one side and chop the rest until super-fine, almost like a purée
In a bowl, mix together the broccoli and salmon with the rest of the ingredients, except the salt.
We leave the salt til the last minute as it draws out the moisture of the brocolli.
Divide into 5 rounds and shape into patties.
Put a heavy based frying pan on a medium heat, with a knob of ghee. Season the patties with salt and fry for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden. Gently flip, and squash them into the pan with the back of your spatula — this will help them hold their shape.
Serve with some cucumber pickle, a generous spoon of mayonnaise, and some salad.
