  • Melt 40g butter and fry spring onions for 3 minutes until softened.
  • Mix spring onions, parsley, lemon zest, and juice into the mashed potatoes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, then gently fold in the diced smoked salmon.
  • Shape the potato mixture into 16 small thumbnail-sized fishcakes.
  • Prepare three bowls containing flour, beaten eggs, and panko breadcrumbs.
