Method
Preheat the oven to 200C / Gas 6.
For the fishcakes, combine the salmon,
white and brown crab meat, mayonnaise,
parsley, dill, red chilli and Dijon mustard in
a bowl. Season to taste with salt and freshly
ground black pepper.
Use your hands to shape portions of
the mixture into little balls, then flatten
them slightly and chill in the fridge for 30
minutes.
For the tartare sauce, mix all of the
ingredients together in a bowl and season,
to taste, with salt and freshly ground black
pepper. Set aside.
To cook the fishcakes, heat the oil a large
frying pan over a medium-high heat. Fry
the fishcakes in the oil for 3-4 minutes on
each side, or until golden-brown and crisp.
Serve with baby potatoes and wilted
spinach, drizzled with a little olive oil, and
seasoned, to taste, with salt and freshly
ground black pepper.
