Drain the potatoes and return them to the pan.

Add the cooked smoked trout to the pan and sauté for about 2-3 minutes.

In the same pan, add onions and cook until tender, then add garlic and cook for another 2 minutes.

Pour the onions and garlic into a bowl and let cool.

Flake the cooked salmon and smoked trout into the bowl with the mashed potatoes.

Mix in the onion and garlic mixture, then check for seasoning, adding more lemon juice, black pepper, and salt as needed.

Shape the mixture into patties and season the flour with salt and black pepper.

Coat each fish cake in flour, then dip in egg, and coat with bread crumbs.

Place the patties on a tray and refrigerate for at least an hour.

For the sauce, finely dice onion and add capers, parsley, lemon juice, and cherry tomatoes.

Mix in extra virgin olive oil and black pepper.

In a pan over medium to low heat, add olive oil and gently brown both sides of the fish cakes.

Add the sauce to the pan with the fish cakes and gently heat through without boiling.
