Hello Food Tubers. We are gonna show you how to make some amazing crispy, golden salmon
fish cakes. They're really, really simple, really inexpensive and there's a reason why
I have these guys here with me; Jamie's asked us to do this recipe as part of Food Revolution
Day 2014 just because we want to get as many people cooking from scratch, with their kids
and with their families, as humanly possible so let's get started. First, in this pan,
I have 600g or two medium to large sized potatoes along with 100g of frozen peas. Now these
are already cooked, they've been boiled until soft. Now I'm going to ask the lovely Corey
over here, my beautiful son, to mash this for me. I love mashing things. Be careful
because it's hot. Take the masher and start giving that a mash up. And then I have got
two tins of skinless and boneless red salmon but you don't have to use salmon, if you want
you can use tuna, anything you like really. We're using salmon because that's what I like
and that's what I've got in the cupboard. Let's just drain this off real quick. Ok,
so let's get that in there. Again, you don't have to use tinned fish so if you're vegetarian
you could just use a handful of mixed veg out of the freezer or a tin of mixed veg.
Now princess I need you to mash this all up with a fork for me yeah? Ok. And I am going
to chop some chives. I've got one bunch and they've got like an onion flavour because
they come from the onion and garlic family. So how are you getting on Aliyah? I'm doing
good. Are you breaking it all up? That's it. What about you Cory? Are you all mashed up?
I'm having a smashing good time. A smashing good time! Right, ok put the chives in with
the salmon. Do you wanna mix them up? Yep. And we're gonna need a lemon. Can I zest it?
You can do if you want but be careful because this grater is very sharp, alright? Ok. So
that's straight in. We need to add a few more ingredients; a little pinch of pepper and
sprinkle it in, not too much, that's it. And then I need you to put in a tablespoon of
flour and then Mr Cory can break an egg into it as well. It's in. I'll give you a spoon
Cory and you can start spooning the mashed potatoes into the salmon mixture please. Thank
you. So guys you can see how simple this is. Don't forget there are loads more other Food Revolution
Day recipes on Food Tube so feel free, have a look around, click some links and see what
you find. This looks ready. Time to get messy. So now, sprinkle some flour. So we'll spread
that out. Spread it, spread it. Not too much and then... Oh yeah we can get messy now. What
we're gonna do is we've got our whole mixture here, divide this into eight portions. Eight?
So, we'll cut it in half. That's two, three, four, five. This is fraction work. It is fraction
work. Now what we need to do it get a bit of flour on your hands like this, that's it,
and then you put it in your hand and then we're patting to make it into a fish cake
shape, yeah. So there's one. When we fry them off the flour will help them to go crispy.
Let's be honest guys, if they can do it you can do it. Another sneaky trick guys, this
is a great way to get the omega-3's into the kids because oily fish tends to taste quite
strong and most kids don't like it. These won't have any idea. We heard you. Sshhhh.
So the oil's nice and warm, now we're gonna fry these fish cakes. So we're gonna put these
in. Here you go mummy, here's one. Oh thank you very much. Can I put one in please? Yes
but I need you be very careful because this is very hot, this is a job for the grownups
guys. As you can see mine are a little bit more used to cooking and a little bit more
sensible around pans but if this is a first-time recipe for you and your children by all means
you put the fish cakes in yourself. They smell a bit like tuna. Can you smell the lemon as
well? I can smell the lemon. Oh I can smell the lemon. Mmm you can smell it. These have
been frying now for about three minutes on each side and as you can see they're lovely
and crisp and golden. So we're gonna take these out. Perfect. While you're taking these
out of the frying pan I'm gonna chop up some lemon. Ok guys there you have it, our salmon
fish cakes. To be made by a nine year old and a seven year old I think they look fantastic.
So I think we should put one on the board and give it a little taste. So would you like
to squeeze some lemon over? Yep. I'll grab some forks. There you go, let's have a little
taster. High five! Mmm. Great job, they are absolutely amazing! So there you have it guys,
super simple salmon fish cakes. For more information on Food Revolution Day and for loads more
