Zesty fish cakes

SERVES 4

Serve these with a big salad and oven chips, or in rolls for a healthy twist on burgers.

YOU WILL NEED

300g skinless, white fish fillets, chopped

Small bunch soft herbs, finely chopped (parsley, chives etc)

Zest and justice 1 lime or lemon, plus extra for squeezing.

Pinch chilli flakes

200g cold mashed potato (homemade or shop-bought)

1 medium egg

Plain flour, for dusting

2tbsp vegetable oil, for frying

HOW TO DO IT

In a food processor, pulse the fish, herbs, lime or lemon zest and juice, chilli flakes, and a big pinch of salt, until the fish is chopped, but still a little chunky.

Add the mashed potato and egg to the fish mixture and pulse again a few times until combined.

With clean hands, shape the mixture into 8-12 small patties. Dust well with flour on both sides, then chill for 30 mins. If you use fresh fish, the fishcakes can be frozen at this point, in a sealed container for up to 3 months.
