Ingredients

300 g salmon or trout (skinless, boneless)
3 medium potatoes (about 500–600 g)
1 large carrot
1 egg
2–3 tbsp flour or breadcrumbs
1–2 garlic cloves, finely minced
1–2 tbsp olive oil (plus extra for brushing)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Step-by-Step Instructions

Peel the potatoes and carrot. Cut them into evenly sized pieces and place in a pot of salted water.
Bring to a boil and cook for 15–20 minutes, until fully tender.
Drain well and let them sit for a couple of minutes to release excess moisture.
Mash using a fork or potato masher — aim for a slightly textured mash, not completely smooth.
Cook the fish. You can either steam, bake, or pan-cook the salmon: Pan method: cook over medium heat for 3–4 minutes per sideBake: 180°C (350°F) for 12–15 minutes
Let it cool slightly, then flake into small pieces, removing any remaining bones.
In a large bowl, combine:mashed vegetables, flaked fish, egg, garlic, flour or breadcrumbs, salt and pepper.
Mix gently until everything is evenly combined. The mixture should be soft but hold its shape — if too wet, add a bit more flour.
Using your hands, form medium-sized patties (about 6–8 pieces). If the mixture sticks, lightly oil your hands.
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Place the patties on the tray, leaving space between them.
Lightly brush the tops with olive oil.
Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden.
