Perhaps those who don't like fish cakes simply haven't tried this recipe yet. Salmon pairs beautifully with zest, and lemon wedges make a vibrant garnish. To help the cakes hold their shape better, you can add about 0.25 cups of breadcrumbs before frying. Also, try draining the canned fish and, after mixing the ingredients, freezing it for about 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 can (400g) wild salmon, make sure there are no large bones
• 2 strips bacon, crisp-fried, crumbled, reserving bacon grease
• 1/4 cup chopped onion
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 2 teaspoons mustard
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• Zest of 1/2 lemon
• 1 baked or boiled potato, peeled and mashed with a fork
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp finely grated Parmesan
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
