1 tbsp Kerrygold butter
150ml dry white wine
1 tbsp chopped parsley
mashed potatoes, no cream and no butter in the mash
2 tbsp plain flour

Butter and season a tray sprinkle with the shallots sit the salmon on top drizzle with white wine season with salt and pepper.

Cover with foil and bake in the oven for 8 to 10 minutes – the salmon should be firm to touch but still pink in the middle.

Sit the salmon in a colander over a pan to collect all the juices.

When all the juices have drained place in a small pot and reduce on a stove until a nice syrup consistency.

Break up the salmon into flakes add the syrup chopped parsley then fold in the potato until you have a binding texture. Check for seasoning and roll into 12 to 18 ball shaped cakes.
