    Instructions

    1

    Boil the potatoes in salted boiling water with the skin on until they are very soft. Peel while still hot and use a wooden spoon to push them through a sieve with the butter. This will create a fine, fluffy mash.

    2

    Preheat the oven grill to hot.

    3

    Season the salmon and grill for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and bones and roughly flake the fish into a large bowl. Add the mash, mustard, tomato sauce, juice, zest, capers and spring onions and mix lightly.

    4

    Divide the mixture into 8 and shape into little rugby balls. Roll each ball first in the breadcrumbs, then in the egg and again in the crumbs to form a crust.

    5

    Heat the oil and deep-fry the croquettes until brown and crispy. Drain and serve immediately with the sorrel and watercress.
