Salmon Fishcakes with Mango Chutney and Tzatziki [homemade]
We made these tasty fishcakes. I thought I would serve them with either the Mango chutney or the tzatziki, but the two combined were so delicious with these fishcakes!
Fishcakes

6 potatoes, mashed
~200 g salmon pâté (leftovers)
~200 g fresh salmon, grilled

Salt and pepper
1 small carrot, finely diced
Red and yellow peppers, finely chopped
Red onion, thinly sliced (small amount)
Flour
Breadcrumbs
Sesame oil (for frying)

Season:

Cook:
Lightly bake them first to firm up
Then pan-fry in sesame oil until golden and crispy on the outside
Tzatziki
