Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 g firm white fish (e.g., cod, haddock, tilapia)
- 300 g potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 2 tbsp parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tsp lemon zest
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 100 g breadcrumbs (for coating)
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Boil the potatoes in a large pot of salted water for 10-12 minutes, or until tender. Drain well and mash them until smooth. Allow to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are cooking, poach the fish. Place the white fish in a large frying pan, add enough water to just cover the fish, and bring to a simmer. Cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily. Drain the fish and set it aside to cool. Once cool, flake the fish into small pieces, removing any bones.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flaked fish, parsley, lemon zest, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties.
Set up a breading station: place the beaten egg in one shallow bowl and the breadcrumbs in another. Dip each fishcake into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in breadcrumbs. Repeat with all fishcakes.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the fishcakes in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with a wedge of lemon or your favorite dipping sauce.
