- Yukon Gold or other yellow-fleshed potatoes, peeled and diced
- 2 cups 500 mL
- milk

- butter
- 1/2 tsp 2 mL
- salt
- 1/4 tsp 1 mL
- pepper
- 12 oz 375 g
- fresh salmon, diced

- 1 1/4 cups 300 mL
- breadcrumbs

- tzatziki or mango salsa for serving (optional)
Directions
- Step 1
- Place potatoes, milk, butter, salt and pepper in saucepan; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer 10 to 12 min., or until potatoes are soft. Add salmon; cook 3 to 5 min. until potatoes are very tender and fish is cooked through; drain. Roughly mash. Gently stir in egg, mayonnaise, chives, mustard and lemon juice just until combined; keep the mixture chunky.
- Step 2
- Divide into 18 portions and form into 1/2-in. (1-cm) thick patties (texture will be moist). Coat each patty in breadcrumbs. Chill 15 min.
- Step 3
- Meanwhile, heat large saucepan filled with 1-in. (2.5-cm) deep canola oil on medium heat. Working in batches, fry cakes 1 to 2 min. per side until golden brown. Drain on paper towel-lined tray. Serve with tzatziki or mango salsa, if desired.
