These air fryer salmon fishcakes are absolutely brilliant for a midweek dinner that feels special without too much fuss. Scottish salmon is packed with omega 3 fatty acids that are wonderful for your heart and brain, and the air fryer does all the heavy lifting so you're not stuck hovering over a hot pan. The whole meal comes together in just over an hour, making it perfect for when you want something homemade and impressive but don't have hours to spare. Serve them warm with a zesty rocket salad and you've got a restaurant quality dish that tastes far better than takeaway and costs a fraction of the price.

Heat the air fryer to 200ºC. Scrub the potatoes and prick with a fork then put in the air-fryer basket and cook for 40 minutes or until soft. Remove from the basket and leave to stand until cool enough to handle. Cut the potatoes in half, scoop the flesh out into a mixing bowl and mash.

Brush each fishcake with oil and lift into the air-fryer basket. You can line the base with parchment to make it easier to remove the fish cakes. Cook for 5 minutes at 200ºC, turn over and cook for a further 5 minutes. Meanwhile, for the salad, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, honey and mustard. Put the rocket and tomatoes in a bowl and toss with the dressing. Serve the fishcakes with the salad on the side.
