Salmon Fishcakes

2 Salmon fillets, skin removed
2 Potatoes
1 Tbsp taragon, chopped
1 Tbsp chives, chopped
1 Onion, chopped
2 Cloves garlic
100g Butter

Peel and boil the potatoes for 10-15 minutes until soft. Mash with the butter, taragon and chives. Crush the garlic into the mixture. Fry the onion in a little oil and just beginning to soften. Mix in with the potatoes. Fry the salmon gently until cooked through. It speeds things up if you flake it as it cooks. When cooked, flake it and add to the potato mixture. Form this into patties, dust with flour and dry for a couple of miutes on each side. Serve with lemon wedges.
