Top Tip
LOVE YOUR LEFTOVERS:
Leftover herbs? Try making my salsa verde - it'll transform any roasted veg, grilled meat or fish, or can be stirred into risottos.
Method
- Roughly chop the fish, then peel and grate the potato.
- Combine with the flour in a bowl, then season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Bring together with your hands and shape into 12 flat patties, then leave to chill in the fridge.
- Heat a glug of oil in a heavy-based pan over a medium-high heat. In batches of 4, cook the fish cakes for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp, then remove to kitchen paper to drain.
- Pick, chop and stir the herbs through the mayo, then serve with the fish cakes, and some watercress and lemon wedges, if you like.
