Method

  1. Mix the mash with the fish, dill and lemon zest. Season.
  2. Shape into 8 fishcakes, then put each one in turn in a shallow bowl filled with the breadcrumbs. Gently press the breadcrumbs into the fishcakes until evenly coated in a thin layer, then chill in a single layer for 30 minutes.
  3. Heat a 1cm layer of oil in a large frying pan and, when shimmering, add the fishcakes, in batches if necessary, and fry for about 5 minutes on each side until golden and crisp on the outside, and piping hot in the centre. Drain on kitchen paper, then serve with a green salad and lemon wedges.

Quick wins & tips

If you buy ready-made mash, look out for stiff, floury stuff – if it’s too creamy the fishcakes might fall apart. If your mash is wet, add 1-2 tbsp plain flour.

Make Ahead

Fry, cool and then freeze on a tray until solid. Put in a freezer bag and keep for up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in a 180°C/ fan160°C/ gas 4 oven for 25-30 minutes until cooked.
