Steps:
- For the salmon and cod cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly sprinkle the cod and salmon with salt, pepper and 2 tablespoons of the oil. Bake until cooked through, 4 to 5 minutes, then cool and place in a bowl. Add one-quarter of the panko, the mayonnaise, parsley, pimentos, zest and some salt and pepper. Mix together gently to prevent the fish from breaking too much. Form two 4-ounce patties. The cakes should be moist. Gently crust the outside of the patties with the remaining panko, which will prevent the patties from sticking to the pan.
- Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil in a medium pan, then place the cakes in the oil and pan-fry until warmed through and the outside is nicely browned, 3 to 5 minutes.
- For the remoulade: Mixing together the mayonnaise, pickles, lemon juice, mustard, parsley, scallions and some salt and pepper.
- For the salad: In a large bowl, mix the frisee, green beans, lemon juice, apples, olive oil and some salt and pepper.
- Lay down the remoulade on the plate, place the fish cake on top, and then garnish with the lump crab and salad.
SALMON AND COD FISH CAKES
I had a little salmon and cod to use up, not enough to make a meal out of either, so I came up with this recipe the other night, to use them both together. We really enjoyed them served over salads and I made a tangy mayonnaise relish to go over the top of the cakes which went well with them. The amounts listed below for the fish are just what I had in my fridge and I am sure could be adjusted slightly.

SALMON AND COD FISHCAKES
Steps:
- Bring the potatoes to the boil, adding a pinch of salt. Turn down heat and cook for 20 minutes. Drain and mash thoroughly to get rid of lumps. Add 4 tablespoons butter, salt and freshly ground pepper.
- Combine the oil, vinegar, salt and pepper in a small bowl to make a marinade. Dip the fish in it and wrap each piece in foil, with a sprig of parsley. Put parcels in fish kettle or on baking sheet. Add boiling water and steam for 10 to 12 minutes until the juices flow. Remove from silver foil and check for bones. Flake it into big chunks and combine with the mashed potatoes in a big bowl.
- In a frying pan, saute the chopped shallot, scallions, chives, parsley, fennel, dill, garlic and chile in 4 tablespoons butter and olive oil until soft. Combine with potatoes and fish. Cover with cling-film and leave to chill in refrigerator for 30 minutes, see Cook's Note*.
- Remove and form the fishcakes using a dessertspoon and pat them into shape. Dust with flour. Heat sunflower oil in frying pan until very hot and fry the cakes for 3 or 4 minutes on each side until golden brown. Dry them on paper towels.
- Garnish with parsley and slices of lemon.
Tips:
- For the best results, use fresh, high-quality salmon and cod fillets. Frozen fish can be used, but it should be thawed completely before using.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the fish and vegetables by hand. However, a food processor will make the process much easier and faster.
- Be sure to season the fishcakes well with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika, to taste.
- When frying the fishcakes, be sure to heat the oil over medium heat. If the oil is too hot, the fishcakes will burn on the outside before they are cooked through on the inside.
- Serve the fishcakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, remoulade, or ketchup.
Conclusion:
Salmon and cod fishcakes are a delicious and easy-to-make seafood dish. They are perfect for a quick and healthy meal, and they can also be served as an appetizer or main course. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
