Notes

Also works with leftover mashed potatoes instead of gnocchi! Freezer friendly: Make the fishcakes and place onto a baking try lined with baking paper. Freeze for 2 hours then place into a freezer-friendly bag and layer baking paper between the fishcakes. To cook from frozen, place the fishcakes on a lined baking tray and cook at 200 °C for 30 minutes, flipping half-way through. Last for three months in the freezer.

Curious for us in Canada, can you give grams for salmon and gnocchi? Not sure if our fillets are going to be the same size, nor our gnocchi bags.

This was a real delight! I served it with salad rather than yoghurt, and lots of veg. I made another batch for the freezer so now I just have to cook then. What a wonderful blend of flavours.

Family loved it and said make it again. Some self improvements for next time: Get a better food processor and take gnocchi out of fridge beforehand to warm up. Blender had a real tough time breaking up the hard gnocchi.

Aww, glad the fam enjoyed it, Stephen! Bringing the gnocchi to room temp is totally the way to go. Giant bullet blenders can work too - keep experimenting, you'll get it perfect in no time!

Beautifully quick and delicious comfort food. The gnocchi base is a stroke of genius . In combination with the charred veggies and a little yogurt garlic dip with the rest of the feta crumbled in, a wonderfully satisfying dinner.

I made it with cooked smoked salmon and I added a mackerel, as it was going out of date… Roasted some leek and roasted garlic clove which I mixed in with the yogurt…. Love the recipe, love the meal… the lemon finishes it off…

The gnocchi adds a unique texture, it is a decent way to get kids to eat salmon though. Had to use different sides due to availability in my area but it was a good meal.

Delicious. Coriander instead of parsley. Felt very fresh and healthy. Need to buy a microplane for lemon zest!

did my best, cooked the cakes little uneven and my food processor is sub-par, had a hard time getting it to blend properly and ended up having to pull alot of the salmon skin out of the mixture because it wouldn’t blend. tasted great tho.

Could I miss out the sun dried tomatoes, my little boy doesn't like them but I'm wanting to make them for a family meal? Could I switch the tomatoes for something else?? Also would this recipe work with different fish?? Thanks muchly 😀

Sure, you can leave the sundried tomatoes out or could use something like roasted red peppers (probably better if you use those with a fish like cod or haddock though). Yes, flaky fish is better hence salmon, cod, haddock!

Yes! Cook them until soft, then really make sure you get as much of the water out as possible before adding to the fishcake mix.

Presume flour or breadcrumbs are for dipping patties in before frying…

The flour/breadcrumbs can be added if needed for texture - but gnocchi should do the trick!
