Potato Fish Cakes

An easy way to get the kids to eat fish!

Vegetable oil
1 - 12 oz fillets of salmon or your favourite fish
sea salt and freshly ground pepper
4 large baking potatoes
2 eggs, whisked together
1 tbsp Dijon mustard
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp all purpose flour
1 - 2 tbsp butter

1. Preheat a saute pan or skillet over medium high heat.
2. Add a tbsp of oil, just enough for a thin layer to cover the entire pan
3. Season the fish with salt and pepper and carefully place them in the pan.  Sear the fillets on both sides until they're golden brown, crispy and cooked through.
4. Boil or steam the potatoes
5. Toss hot potatoes into a mixing bowl.  Using a potato masher, mash them until smooth.
6. Add the salmon, eggs, mustard and green onions.  Season with more salt and pepper if required.  Beat with a wooden spoon until everything is well combined and then form the mixture into evenly shaped cakes.
7. Dredge them in the flour.
8. Clean out the skillet and preheat over medium high heat.  Add another bit of oil and 1-2 tbsp of butter.  When the butter melts and sizzles, add the fish cakes.
9. Pan-fry until golden brown and crispy on both sides.
