1.  Place the fish in the pan.  Add a little water and bring to a boil.  Cover and cook for 5-6 minutes.  Let cool, then flake, removing any skin and bones.

2.  Place the potato, peas, and salmon in a bowl.  Mix gently until combined and season to taste.

3.  Mix the bread crumbs with the parsley and place on a plate.

4.  Place a heaping teaspoon of the salmon mixture in your hands, roll into a ball, then flatten.  Dip into the egg, then coat in the bread crumb mixture.

5.  Heat a little oil in a frying pan and fry the fish cakes for 203 minutes on each side until golden.

6.  Mix together the mayonnaise with the lemon zest and juice.  Transfer to a bowl.  Serve the fish cakes warm or cold on toothpicks with the dip.
