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.

• Ready In: 35 mins

• 2  tablespoons dill, finely chopped
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
• 3  medium eggs or 2  large eggs
•  panko breadcrumbs, flakes (I have not listed amount as I was not measuring I am guessing about 1/2-3/4 cup in total)

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.
