- Roughly chop the prawns and stir into the mashed potato with the flaked salmon, lemon rind and juice, dill and plenty of salt and ground black pepper.
- Divide and shape the mixture into four chunky fish cakes.
- Coat each one in flour, then dip into beaten egg and coat in breadcrumbs. Chill in the fridge for 30 mins.
- Shallow-fry the fish cakes in hot oil for 3-4 mins on each side until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper, then serve immediately.
