Steps:

• In large bowl mix together all fish ingredients with hands.
• Cover sheet with plastic wrap.
• Plunge hands back into mixture and form fat palm size patties.
• Place on sheet.
• Put in fridge for 20 min to 1hr.
• Coating mix: In shallow bowl beat 2 eggs.
• Dip fish in egg then in 1/2 cup Matzo meal.
• coat well.
• Melt butter and a bit of oil and fry till golden brown.
• About 4-6 min each side.

Steps:

• In a batter jug, whisk the eggs, milk, finely sliced spring onions/scallions and olive oil together.
• Stir in the smash/potato flakes, flour and baking powder and then finally the lemon juice.
• Heat a flat griddle, and drop tablespoon sized dollops of the mixture onto the hot griddle.
• Cook for about 30 seconds a side or until golden brown and firm enough at the sides to flip.
• Once you have made the pancakes, and they've cooled a little, tear off tiny strips of smoked salmon and arrange the small slices on each pancake.
• Decorate each salmon topped pancake with a tiny feather of dill.

Steps:

• Process or blend the shrimp with the garlic, scallions, salt, flour, sherry, and enough water to make a thick batter. Let stand, covered with plastic film, for 1 hour. Then fry, in drops of 1 heaping teaspoon, into the oil poured to a depth of 2 inches in a pan, for about 1 minute each side, or until golden brown. Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Heat the grill.
• Place 450g floury potatoes, cut into chunks, in a pan of water, bring to the boil, cover and cook for 12-15 mins until tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry, then mash.
• Meanwhile, season 350g salmon fillet and grill for 5-6 mins until just cooked. Cool for a few mins, then break into large flakes.
• Mix the potato, 2 tsp tomato ketchup, 1 tsp English mustard, the zest of ½ lemon, 1 heaped tbsp chopped parsley, 1 heaped tbsp chopped dill and some seasoning. Lightly mix in the salmon, taking care not to break it up too much.
• Shape into 4 large fish cakes.
• Put 3 tbsp plain flour, 1 beaten egg and 100g dried breadcrumbs in 3 shallow dishes. Dip the cakes into the flour, dust off any excess, then dip in the egg, and finally coat in breadcrumbs.
• Heat 4 tbsp sunflower oil in a large pan. Fry the cakes over a medium-low heat for 3-4 mins each side until deep golden and heated through.
• Serve with salad and lemon wedges.
