Canned or fresh salmon with bones and skin removed. Watch for the spine segments if you use canned salmon. Canned salmon is already cooked. Flake the salmon. Mix with one or two beaten eggs and about 1/2 cup of bread crumbs. If your patient can tolerate onion, add finely diced onion and/or celery. If not, season with onion powder and a tiny bit of celery salt.
It is almost like meatloaf or meatballs, but with salmon instead of hamburger.
Form into patties or cakes, and fry on both sides on low heat in a mixture of butter and olive oil. If fats are an issue, spray the pan with non-stick cooking spray instead.
If the patient can tolerate it, make a cup of white sauce...roux of flour and butter, whipped with 1 cup of milk and cooked over low heat while stirring constantly. You can put a spoonful of this sauce on top of the salmon cake, and sprinkle lightly with paprika.

@Sunnykel76 I've tried frying mashed potatoes, and they have to be really thick if you are going to use them in the Brit recipe. No added milk or butter, and have to be blended in while hot. Anyway, regular mashed tend to flatten out and they don't brown well.
