Salmon and Cod Fish Cakes

The Flying Chef's Note:

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.

Ingredients:

• 3 green onions , thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves , crushed
• 3 tablespoons parsley , finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons dill , finely chopped
• ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3 medium eggs or 2 large eggs

Mayonnaise Relish

• ½ cup mayonnaise

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 teaspoons creamy mustard
• 1 green onion , finely sliced
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives

Directions:

1. Mayonnaise Relish.
2. Combine all the ingredients together in a bowl and refrigerate until ready to use.
3. Fish Cakes.
4. In a large bowl combine all the ingredients down to the panko flakes, add a few tablespoons of panko flakes to the mix to bind ingredients together.
5. Shape into patties, you will get about 6 large or 8 medium patties from this.
6. Pour more panko flakes onto a plate, coat the outside of each pattie with panko flakes.
7. Heat a little oil in a pan, add patties and cook both sides, until browned and crisp on the outside.
8. Serve on buns or over salad as I did and top with relish.
