Day 4 of being my mum's recovery chef. I'm trying to make her no-fibre diet more exciting and healthy than cheese on toast with jelly babies.

These are delicious, fun to make and very impressive if you have guests!

Ingredients

1 hour
4 fishcakes
  1. 450 gskinned fish fillet (I used a pack of fish pie mix for variety)
  2. 150 mlmilk
  3. 350 gpotatoes
  4. 1/2lemon zest
  5. 1 tbspparsley, chopped
  6. 1 tbspchives, chopped
  7. 1egg
  8. Flour (for shaping)
  9. 85 gbreadcrumbs
  10. 4 tbspoil
  11. 4Lemon wedges to serve

Cooking Instructions

1 hour
  1. 1

    Peel and chop up the potatoes. Boil until soft. Drain and mash well.

  2. 2

    Finely chop chives and flat leaf parsley, grate lemon zest. Add to the mash and mix well.

  3. 3

    Add the fish to a pan and cover with 150ml milk and 150ml water. Bring to a simmer and heat for 5 minutes. Then turn off the heat, cover and leave to cook through for 10 minutes.

  4. 4

    Drain the fish and add it to the mash. Flake up the fish a bit, but try and keep some decent pieces for texture.

  5. 5

    Prepare a bowl with breadcrumbs, another with a beaten egg and a board covered in flour. Cover your hands with flour and shape the mixture into 4 fishcakes, roughly 1 inch thick.

  6. 6

    Brush each fishcake with egg.

  7. 7

    Dip each fishcake in the breadcrumbs until completely covered. Put aside on a plate.

  8. 8

    Heat up some oil until it starts to smoke. Add the fishcakes. Turn after 5 minutes (or sooner if they start to brown too quickly).

  9. 9

    Fry for a minute on the edges to seal the fishcakes all over.

  10. 10

    Serve hot from the pan with a lemon wedge and any veg you want :)
