Hot smoked salmon and potato cakes

4 medium-sized potatoes

2 tablespoon gluten-free flour, plus extra for dusting

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

splash of olive oil

1 teaspoon sea salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

200 gram hot-smoked salmon, flaked into large chunks

2 spring onions, finely chopped

1 tablespoon wholegrain mustard

1/4 cup good-quality olive oil

squeeze of lemon juice

3 tablespoon white wine vinegar

few sprigs fresh dill

Method

1.Cook the potatoes in salted water until soft. Drain well, letting the steam evaporate (this gives a fluffier result) before mashing with flour, baking powder, olive oil and seasoning. Stir through the salmon and spring onions. Divide into 6-8 balls and flatten into thick patties. Dust in the extra flour and chill for 15 minutes or longer.

2.For the dressing, whiz all the ingredients in a food processor. Taste and add more seasoning, if needed.

3.When ready to cook, heat 2cm of oil in a large pan. Fry each patty until golden brown on both sides and heated through. Garnish with dill sprigs and serve.

Makes 6-8. – Try this recipe with smoked kahawai or chopped prawns.
