Method
- Heat the oven to 200C/gas 6. Mix together the salmon, mash, spring onion, parsley and lemon zest. Add the lemon juice and season, then shape into 8 equal-sized fish cakes.
- Sprinkle the polenta and seeds onto a large plate and roll the fish cakes in the mixture to coat evenly. Transfer the fishcakes to a baking tray, lined with baking parchment, and bake for 20 mins, turning halfway through, until they are golden brown and crisp. Alternatively, you can fry them in sunflower oil for around 5 mins each side.
- Make the tartare sauce by combining all the ingredients and seasoning, to taste, with a little lemon juice and salt and pepper.
