Salmon burgers with horseradish dip

Wondering what to do with any leftover seafood? Make a batch of these delicious salmon burgers. They also are great for a quick lunch as sandwich when placed in wraps or pita bread.

Ingredients

• 150 g (5 oz) leftover cooked potato, mashed
• 1 bunch dill, fronds chopped
• Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
• 1 shallot, finely chopped
• 1 garlic clove, crushed
• 1 egg
• 30 g (½ cup) panko breadcrumbs
• 60 g (2 oz) leftover cooked salmon
• 50 g (1¾ oz) cooked crab meat
• 20 g (2½ tbsp) plain flour
• Olive oil, to shallow-fry

For the horseradish dip

• 70 g (¼ cup) thick Greek-style yoghurt
• 20 g (1 tbsp) horseradish cream
• Juice of ½ lemon

Instructions
