‘The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found’ ~ Calvin Trillin
‘A weed is but an unloved flower’ ~ Ella Wheeler Wilcox
I can relate to both these aphorisms (sorry Dotty) and try to eat leftovers and foraged ingredients (even if from my garden) when I can.
I’ve raided my scrap shelf in my fridge and found some leftover poaching liquid, salmon off cuts and boiled spuds and decided to make fishcakes. Cajun gives fish a lovely warm hug without overpowering it and is a perfect seasoning for fishcakes.
Cajuns are the descendants of Acadians and French Catholic colonists who had originally settled in Nova Scotia, Canada. They were forcibly removed by the British and sent to the US in the 18th century. They eventually wound up in Louisiana bringing with them elements of French culture, including many aspects of French style cooking. These included the flavours that would eventually be combined in Cajun seasoning.
Wishing to stick to the ‘waste not, want not’ theme, I’ve rummaged in my super scrap pot and found some watercress stalks and carrot peelings to which I have added the last of the wild rocket and some weeds from my lawn to make a ‘garden’ salad.

- To make the Cajun seasoning blitz all the ingredients. It can be stored for up to 18 months. If the fish isn’t cooked, cover with poaching liquid (equal mixture of milk and water, a few peppercorns and a couple of bay leaves), cover and bring to the boil. Turn the heat down and simmer for 5 minutes. Take off the heat and let it sit for a few minutes to finish cooking.
- Lift the fish out of the poaching liquid and put aside to cool. Dry fry the skin until crispy and shred. Mash the potatoes then add the zest, herb stalks and the Cajun seasoning. Gently fold in the fish leaving it chunky.
- Place the breadcrumbs in a dish. Divide the fish and potato mixture into 4. Dust your hands with flour and take a quarter of the mix and form into a ball approximately 8 cm (3 inches) in diameter and roll around in the breadcrumbs until covered. Repeat with the other 3 portions. Place the fishcakes in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up.
- Put a glug of oil in a skillet and shallow fry the fishcakes for 5 – 10 minutes, turning frequently, until golden brown.
- Arrange the salad ingredients on a plate. Place the fishcake on top, add a squeeze of lemon and scatter with flowers. NB: Save the poaching liquid again and use in soup.
