Salmon Fishcakes

Ok, so I really did try to lure myself away from the Nairn's Oatcakes Recipe page this week, however (just like my 'no chocolate' lent challenge) I failed miserably. I keep clicking back to their pages because of their simple yet healthy and delicious recipes that seem to be right up my street! And no, I'm not being paid by Nairn's, or endorsing their products over any other, I just like them.

So, this weekend I decided to try their Salmon Fishcakes. Like in my other recipe posts, I tend to follow recipes 90% to the book... and tweak the other 10% to make it a little bit more healthy (adding a little bit of 'Nic's Nutrition' to it you could say!).

So, to make these delicious salmon fishcakes (x4) you will need:

1 tin of salmon, skinned, boned and flaked

4 Nairn's rough oatcakes (broken into crumbs)

1 free-range egg, beaten

1 tbsp of coriander and parsley mixed together (I didn't have any parsley)

3 tbsp plain flour

1 tbsp olive oil (I actually used 1kcal spray oil in the end to fry the fish cakes)

And here's what to do:

1) Add the fish, oatcake crumbs, beaten egg and herbs to a bowl

2) Mix!

3) Shape into 4 patties with your hands and roll in flour

4) Heat some oil (1kcal spray oil or 1tsp of oil) in a frying pan and fry the fishcakes until golden-brown on both sides (about 3 minutes on each side)
