Instructions
In a large mixing bowl combine all the ingredients for the zucchini fritters, except the butter.
Stir well with a wooden spoon until all ingredients, particularly salmon, are completely distributed. Break down any salmon lumps with a spoon. Set aside for a few minutes while you make tartar sauce.
Combine all the ingredients for the tartar sauce. Mix well.
Heat a frying pan on medium heat. Melt butter and with a wooden spoon drop clumps of fritter mixture 1/3 cup (0.75 dl) each into the pan.
Press fritter lumps flat with the spoon. Pat together any fraying edges to make nice round fritters. Cook until golden on one side, then flip.
When cooked, keep warming in a 400°F (200°C) oven while you cook the whole batter.
Serve with tartar sauce and side salad or vegetable crudités.

This was pretty good! I didn’t think I would like the tarter sauce recipe but it complimented the salmon very well!!

These are a family favourite and a great way of getting my daughter to eat fish. Make sure you squeeze out the juice from the grated zucchini (courgette); I do this by putting it in a sieve and pressing with a layer of kitchen roll on top. I've also made this with fresh mackerel which worked well - just cook slightly slower so that fish gets fully cooked.

This calls for fresh horseradish, not the sauce.

Yes, this recipe was designed to make 4 servings and calls for 1 egg. While we do offer the option to scale recipes to make fewer or more servings, sometimes that does result in some unusual measurements!

The fritters are delicious! I followed the recipe exactly, so I did not squeeze out the moisture from the zucchini like another poster recommended. Just let the batter sit while you make the tartar sauce and let the psyllium husk powder work. I don't care for horseradish, but I really liked it in the tartar sauce recipe.

Of seafood recipes I've tried on the site, this is the recipe I liked the least; didn't like the texture of the Fritter, or the homemade tarter sauce. I have liked other Salmon patty recipes on this site- this one, not so much. It may have been the addition of the zucchini in the patties. The tarter sauce just was not to my liking. Others may have a differing opinion.

Repeat. Can these be frozen. Just the fritters? How long in fridge?
Lovely recipe, best yet after Cheese n kale soup, and mushroom soup.

ThanksWe have not tested freezing these, but it should work well. They would be fine in the fridge 3-5 days.

These are a bit bland, but nothing a bit of chilli powder can't fix. ;) I'll definitely replace salmon with tuna next time.

Liked them a lot added more dill to the sauce and only had a jar of horseradish and added chilli to the patties. Will try them with tuna as well. Thanks
