This recipe is from Nigella Lawson's How to Eat, and besides being deliciously easy, most of the ingredients are pantry staples! I freely admit to making this when little ones are not around, even though this recipe is found in the chapter, "Feeding Babies and Children!"
2/3 cup canned drained salmon
3/4 cup cold mashed potatoes (about 1 potato)
1 tablespoon grated Parmesan
good pinch of paprika
1 egg beaten with 1 teaspoon milk
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3 tablespoons matzo meal
chopped zest of 1/4 lemon (optional)
vegetable oil, for frying
Combine the salmon, potatoes, Parmesan, paprika, lemon zest if using, and half the beaten egg mixture. Using your hands, form the mixture into balls the size of walnuts and flatten into fat little discs. Dredge them in flour, dip in the remaining egg mixture and then in the matzo meal. Let rest for 15 minutes in the fridge on a plate or tray lined with plastic wrap. Put about 1/2 inch of the oil into a frying pan, add the cakes, and fry for a minute or two on each side until they are golden on the outside and warm on the inside. Remove to paper towels to drain. Enough for 4 children. Ketchup is welcomed for dipping. May be doubled to feed hungry adults! Enjoy!
