Teisennau Eog Dyfrdwy (Dee Salmon Fish Cakes).

Salmon is the king of fish and these potato and fish cakes, flavoured with parsley and chives are a luxury starter or main course. 

 Boil the potatoes until tender. Mash well with 1 oz. of the butter and mix in the finely-flaked salmon, the chopped parsley, chopped chives and lemon zest. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Turn out onto a floured surface, divide into 8 portions and shape into cakes. Fry in 2 ozs. butter mixed with oil until golden brown on each side. Drain on kitchen paper. Serve as a starter on a bed of lettuce with soured cream and chive dressing or as a main course garnished with parsley and lemon wedges.
