ingredients

600 g fresh salmon
2 lemon wedges
1 bay leaf
3 parsley sprigs
1 tablespoon butter
1 onion, diced
600 potatoes
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
100 g breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon oil, for frying

directions

Peel the potatoes and quarter to cook faster and place in a pan of boiling water for about 20 minutes until soft. When ready place in a bowl add a splash of milk a pinch of salt and pepper and mash them together.
Meanwhile, rinse the fish and cut into medium-sized pieces. Place them in a pan with the lemon wedges, parsley sprigs, bay leaf, a little salt and enough cold water to cover. Bring the water to a boil and then lower the heat and simmer for about 7 minutes.
When they cool enough, remove the skin and flake into small pieces. Add the fish flakes with the mashed potatoes and throw in the parsley as well and mix well. Season with salt and peper.
Heat the oil in a pan, and saute the onion until it is translucent but not browned. Wehn the onion is ready put in the fish-potato mixture and cook slightly until everything is mixed well.
On a plate spread the breadcrumbs and divide the patties into 4 or 6 patties depending on how large you want them. Form each patty in your hands and place on the breadcrumbs and coat it well.
Melt the butter in a frying pan and add that efishackes, in batches if needed. Fry each until each side is golden.
Serve immediately garnish with parley. I made some parsley sauce to go with the fish cakes. I followed this recipe and they went well together: http://www.geniuskitchen.com/recipe/easy-lemon-and-parsley-sauce-507654.
