Teisennau Eog Dyfrdwy, or Welsh Salmon Fish Cakes, is a traditional Welsh dish that combines the flavors of fresh salmon, potatoes, and herbs to create a delectable and comforting meal. The use of fresh, wild salmon ensures a rich and flaky texture, while the combination of mashed potatoes, leeks, and herbs adds a savory and aromatic dimension. This dish is commonly served with a tangy tartar sauce, which complements the flavors of the fish cakes perfectly. In this article, we will explore two variations of Teisennau Eog Dyfrdwy: a classic version that showcases the traditional flavors of the dish, and a modern interpretation that incorporates a creamy chive sauce for an extra layer of richness. Both recipes are easy to follow and guarantee a delicious and satisfying culinary experience.

TEISENNAU EOG DYFRDWY (WELSH SALMON FISH CAKES).
Since one of my family lines of genealogy is Welsh, I wanted to include a few Welsh recipes in my postings for the ZWT #6--2010. Salmon is the king of fish and these potato and fish cakes, flavoured with parsley and chives are considered a luxury starter or main course in Wales. The original version of this recipe was found on Traditional Welsh Recipes.

Tips:
- Use fresh, high-quality salmon. This will ensure that your fish cakes are flavorful and moist.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
- Flake the salmon into large pieces. This will help to keep the fish cakes moist and prevent them from becoming too dense.
- Use a binder to hold the fish cakes together. This could be eggs, breadcrumbs, or mashed potatoes.
- Season the fish cakes well. Use a variety of herbs and spices to create a flavorful dish.
- Pan-fry the fish cakes until they are golden brown and crispy. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent them from becoming dry.
- Serve the fish cakes with a variety of dipping sauces. This could include tartar sauce, remoulade, or aioli.
Conclusion:
Welsh salmon fish cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences.
