Step 1: Prepare the Salmon
- Cook the salmon lightly by steaming or pan-searing until just done. Let it cool, then flake it gently with a fork.
Step 2: Prepare the Base
- In a mixing bowl, add the mashed potato, chopped onion, garlic, parsley, dill, lemon zest, and lemon juice.
Step 3: Combine Ingredients

- Mix gently until everything comes together. Avoid overmixing—you want to keep the texture light.
Step 4: Shape the Cakes
- Divide the mixture into equal portions and shape into small patties. Place them on a plate and chill for 10–15 minutes to firm up.
Step 5: Cook the Salmon Cakes
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties for about 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.
Step 6: Serve
