Salmon & Dill Fish Cakes

What is it?

Two fishcakes made with salmon and fresh dill, usually sold frozen and cooked from chilled or straight from the freezer, depending on the pack instructions. They’re breadcrumb-coated and shaped into neat rounds, with flaked fish held together by a mashed potato-style base and dill for a herbal note. In Waitrose’s frozen range, they sit closer to the straightforward fishcake end of the shelf than the creamier, sauce-heavy options, so the texture is more compact than spoonable. Serve them with vegetables, salad, or peas, or use them as a simple main with chips.
