Notes
- You can add a little mayonnaise into the mixture to help bind it.
- If you don't have Panko breadcrumbs, then regular breadcrumbs would work.
- You can swap the parsley for dill or chives. Always use fresh herbs though.
- Serve them with a homemade tartar sauce or some Tzatziki.
- You can use leftover salmon or mashed potatoes to make this.
- If you want spicy fish cakes, then add some red chilli flakes or a splash of your favourite hot sauce.
- For a more intense flavour, try using smoked salmon.
- Give these fishcakes a green boost by mixing in some peas or chopped spinach to the mixture.
