Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C/fan180°C/gas 6. Cook the squash until tender in the microwave in a bowl of boiling water according to pack instructions. Tip into another bowl, season and mash with a fork. Set aside to cool a little. Wilt the spinach by putting it in a sieve and pouring over boiling water. Rinse under cold water to refresh, then squeeze gently to remove excess water. Stir the salmon flakes, wilted spinach, flour and breadcrumbs into the mashed squash.
  2. Season, then add just enough egg to bind (about ½). Shape into 4 cakes and chill for 5 minutes. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan. Fry the cakes for 2 minutes on each side until golden, then transfer to the oven for 8 minutes or until cooked through. Mix the avocado oil with the lemon juice, season and use to dress the salad. Serve the fishcakes alongside the dressed salad with lemon wedges.
