Jamie Oliver’s 5 Ingredients Salmon Fish Cakes are simple patties made from cooked salmon, mashed potatoes, lemon zest, flour, and fresh herbs. The mixture is shaped into cakes and pan-fried until crisp and golden, resulting in a quick, flavorful, and satisfying meal.

Ingredients

Scale

    • 2 cooked salmon fillets (or 1 can salmon, drained)

    • 400g mashed potatoes

    • Zest of 1 lemon

    • A handful of fresh parsley, chopped

    • 2–3 tbsp plain flour (plus extra for coating)

    • Salt and black pepper, to taste

    • 2–3 tbsp olive oil for frying

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Salmon

Flake the cooked salmon into a bowl, making sure to remove any skin or bones. Break it into small, flaky pieces.

Step 2: Add the Mashed Potatoes

Mix the salmon with cold mashed potatoes to form a stable base. Cold mash helps the cakes hold together better.

Step 3: Add Flavorings

Stir in lemon zest, chopped parsley, salt, and pepper. Combine until the mixture becomes smooth and uniform.

Step 4: Shape the Fish Cakes

Dust your hands with flour and shape the mixture into patties. Coat each patty lightly with flour to help them crisp up in the pan.

Step 5: Fry the Fish Cakes

Heat olive oil in a frying pan. Cook each fish cake over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.

Step 6: Serve Warm

Transfer the fish cakes to a paper-towel-lined plate and serve immediately with lemon wedges, salad, or your favorite dip.
