Smoked Salmon Recipe
This smoked salmon recipe is to make fish cakes.
They can be made in advance and kept in the fridge until you're ready to cook them.
You don't need a lot of salmon - about 1 oz (25g) per fish cake - so if you're making them for 4 people, then you will need about 8 oz (225g).
Supermarkets often have smoked salmon offcuts at bargain prices - the last pack I bought was 100g for 88 pence (sliced salmon was at least £1.99 for the same amount).
So it's as cheap as minced (ground) beef or canned fish.
These would make an excellent fish appetizer or with the addition of some buttered vegetables or brown bread and butter, they would make a great tea.
