Salmon fishcakes

[Bubbaloo]

Does anyone please have an easy recipes for salmon fishcakes.It's for ds who's 8 months and if poss I'd like to freeze it.
TIA .

Delia strikes again - would need a bit of amending for a little one thought.

Weightwatchers have a recipe for 'quick and easy' fishcakes, which involves grating potatoes, this I do not call a quick and easy process. But I can post if you would like to see it?

Thanks Trib-If you don't mind.

SS-Wouldn't mind a recipe please.It's actually tinned red salmon that I want to use,if that helps.

Thanks!

The WW one uses fresh salmon, the Delia one uses tinned salmon, she says it's better - strike me down, Delia doesn't insist on you personally hunting down a salmon, killing it and preparing it for cooking!

I've got one
I make it with mashes potatoes, dill, egg, bread crumbs, pepper. I use fresh salmon, preferably a filet so it doesn't have bones, which I cook in some fish stock or just water (I just boil it for 10-15mn). Once they're ready I coat them in more bread crumbs and fry them in olive oil. Yummy.

make mashed potato (or, take from fridge leftover mashed potato). Add tinned salmon and fork together. Make into fishcake like shapes. roll in flour and shallow fry for 5-10 mins.
That's it Most recipes I've seen suggest equal weight of mash and fish, but I tend to use more mash to fill people up....

I would make it with fresh salmon as I don't think (but please correct me if wrong) that tinned salmon has the same nutritional content, especially as omega oils go.

i think you're right. tinned fish like sardines which are processed in oil would be a good choice as the canning process leaches the omega 3's into the oils..so you should shove that in too.

cupcakes - I think you're wrong

To make the most of the health benefits?
If possible, get fresh or frozen salmon. Both have roughly the same amount of omega-3. Or, if you?re pressed for time, tinned salmon is perfect for adding to pasta or rice dishes, fishcakes or sandwiches. Tinned salmon (unlike tinned tuna) retains omega-3 in the canning process.

i make them with tinned salmon as when i`ve tried using fresh my kids wont eat them !

info from waitrose

What are the sources of Omega 3?

Omega 3 fats occur naturally in seeds as alpha linolenic acid (ALA). However, the most effective Omega 3 fats occur naturally in oily fish as eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA).

Good sources of ALA include: linseed (flaxseed) oil, linseeds, soya bean oil, pumpkin seeds, walnut oil, rapeseed oil and soya beans.

The body can convert ALA into EPA and DHA, but not very efficiently. This is why oily fish plays such an important role in our diet. Oily fish contains EPA and DHA in a 'ready made' form that the body can use easily.

The main sources of oily fish in the UK include salmon, trout, mackerel, herring, sardines, pilchards and kippers, either fresh, frozen, canned or smoked. Tinned tuna does not count as it does not contain the high levels of oils found in fresh and frozen tuna.

I am happy to stand corrected - I was thinking of tuna and didn't realise that there were differences.

i am happy as it means i havent been a crap mum feeding them tinned salmon instead of fresh.

happy to hep cupcakes - I suffer from label-reading nutrional paranoia thanks to my hard-to-feed ds1

nutritional paranoia - I can't type either

I make fish cakes with tinned salmon,the DS's usually help,because if they have made it themselves then they usually eat it.It's about the only Omega rich fish,that I can get them to eat.
However,I do give them two nice,big,spoonfulls of cod liver oil every morning
