Ingredients:

Smoked Salmon

Sour Cream & Chives Sauce

2 tbsp mayonnaise

1/4 cup sour cream

2 tbsp fresh chives (finely chopped)

1/4 tsp cayenne

Salt and Pepper

Baked Rosti

2 cups grated potatoes

2 tbsp butter

1/4 tsp dried parsley

1/4 tsp dried rosemary

1/4 tsp smoked paprika

1/4 tsp cayenne

Salt and Pepper

Fish Cakes

1/4 cup capsicum (chopped in small cubes)

250 grams fish fillet (chopped in small pieces)

250 grams shrimps (chopped in small pieces)

3 tbsp fresh chives (finely chopped)

1/4 tsp dried basil

1/4 tsp dried parsley

1/4 tsp cayenne

1/4 tsp dried oregano

1/4 tsp ginger powder

Salt and Pepper

2 eggs

Juice of half a lemon

1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs

3 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C or 350°F.  In a bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream and parsley.
Season with salt and pepper.

2. Add the cayenne and stir.  Set aside and keep chilled in the fridge.

3. Bake or Boil the potatoes (Cook halfway only.  The potatoes should still be a bit firm).
Grate the potatoes preferably with a big grater.

4. Add the butter.

5. Add the spices and mix until well-combined.

6. Place about 1 - 1 1/2 spoons of the potato mixture in a muffin tray.

7. Press firmly and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until top is golden brown.

8. Let cool and set aside.

9. Cook the capsicums for about 1-2 minutes and set aside.

10. Combine the fish, shrimps, spices and chives.  Season with salt and pepper. Mix.

11. Add the eggs, lemon juice and the cooked capsicums.

12. Add the breadcrumbs and stir until well-combined.

13. Do a test batch and adjust the seasoning as needed.  As you can see, my first attempt failed :p
I fixed the recipe already by adding 1 more egg and more breadcrumbs + more salt and pepper.

14. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side.

15. Look for that gorgeous brown colour.  Once cooked, remove from the pan and set aside.

16. Place about a small amount of the sour cream and chives sauce in the centre of the baked rosti.
Roll the smoked salmon so that it looks like a rose then place in on top of the sauce.  Garnish with some chives.

17. Place the fish cake on top of the baked rosti.
Top with the sour cream and chives sauce.  Garnish with some chives.
Plate and Enjoy! :)
