WEIGHT CONVERTER
Method
- Place 25g Bitesize Shredded Wheat into a freezer bag and use a rolling pin to crush them until they resemble fine shreds.
- In a large bowl mix together the Shredded Wheat crumbs, spring onions, mashed potato, salmon, mayonnaise, ketchup, sweet chilli sauce, lemon juice, dill and season well.
- Divide the mixture into 6 balls, chill for 3 to 4 hours to firm up.
- For the coating place 120g of Shredded Wheat into a freezer bag and use a rolling pin to crush them until they resemble fine shreds. Mix in the grated parmesan cheese.
- Dip the balls in the beaten egg, shaking off any excess, then coat in the cheesy Shredded Wheat crumb mixture.
- Dip in the beaten egg a second time then into the cheesy Bitesize Shredded Wheat mixture again to thoroughly coat the balls.
- Put each ball onto a chopping board or tray and pat into a fish shape, press on extra cheesy Shredded Wheat coating if any bald patches appear.
- Spray a little sunflower oil into a pan and heat. Fry the fish cakes for 2 to 3 minutes on both sides until golden brown and the salmon is cooked through
- Place the fish cakes on a plate and decorate with a slice of egg with a pea on top for eyes, half a sugar snap pea for a mouth and a piece of parsley for a fin. Place three slices of radishes for air bubbles coming out of the fish’s mouth.
- Serve with petits pois which double up as the ocean floor.
