Gordon Ramsay’s Signature: Crafting Salmon Fish Cakes

If you’re a fan of seafood and Gordon Ramsay, then you’re in for a treat! In this tutorial, we will delve into the culinary genius of Gordon Ramsay and learn how to make his mouthwatering salmon fish cakes.

These crispy and flavorful fish cakes are perfect as an appetizer or a main course. Let’s get started!

Ingredients:

  • 400g fresh salmon fillets
  • 500g potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1 lemon, zest and juice
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
  • 2 tablespoons capers, drained and chopped
  • 4 spring onions, finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 50g all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 100g breadcrumbs
  • Olive oil for frying

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Salmon

Boldly season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

In a pan over medium heat, drizzle some olive oil and place the seasoned salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they are cooked through but still slightly pink in the middle.

Boldly squeeze some lemon juice over the cooked salmon fillets.

Step 2: Prepare the Potato Mixture

In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the diced potatoes until they are tender. Drain the potatoes and let them cool slightly.

Boldly mash the cooked potatoes until smooth.

Add the lemon zest, chopped dill, capers, and spring onions to the mashed potatoes. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 3: Combine Salmon and Potato Mixture

Flake the cooked salmon into small pieces using a fork.

Add the flaked salmon to the potato mixture. Gently fold it in until well combined.

Step 4: Shape and Coat the Fish Cakes

In three separate bowls, place flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs respectively.

Boldly shape the salmon-potato mixture into palm-sized patties.

Dip each patty into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere them to the patty’s surface.

Step 5: Fry the Fish Cakes

In a large frying pan over medium heat, heat olive oil for frying. Carefully place the coated fish cakes into the pan and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown and crispy.

Boldly transfer the cooked fish cakes onto a paper towel-lined plate to remove any excess oil.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Serve these delicious salmon fish cakes hot with a side of tartar sauce or aioli.
  • Pair them with a fresh green salad for a light and refreshing meal.
  • Alternatively, serve them as sliders with brioche buns and your favorite toppings for a delightful twist.
