Best Easy Potato Fish Cakes Healthy Recipes

HEALTHIER OVEN-BAKED FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Place cubed potatoes in cold, salted water and bring to the boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook until just cooked, about 10 minutes. Then drain and allow to dry, before mashing.
• In the meantime (if not using left-over baked/ grilled fish), poach the fish. Place fish in a pan and cover with salted water. Bring to a gentle boil, and allow to simmer for about 5 minutes (depending on the thickness of the fillet) until just cooked. Drain the fish from the water with a slotted spoon, remove skin and, using a fork, flake into large chunks. Discard any bones.
• Place the fish, potatoes, chili, scallions, and cilantro in a bowl, add a squeeze of lime and season with salt and pepper. Use your hands to combine the mixture. Then divide and shape mixture into 4 to 6 even-sized fish patties and place on baking sheet lined with foil
• To bake: Pre-heat oven to 400°F (200°C). Bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden-brown and crisp. Midway through, turn over and brush tops with a little more olive oil.
• To broil: Pre-heat broiler. Place baking sheet about 4 inches below the heating element. Broil for 5 to 6 mins each side until nicely brown on both sides and hot through. After flipping, brush top with more olive oil.
• Serve with lime wedges.

FAMILY MEALS: EASY FISH CAKES

Steps:

• Cook the potatoes in boiling water until just tender. Drain well and return to the pan on a low heat. Heat for another minute or two to evaporate excess liquid. Mash the potato with a small knob of butter. Allow to cool.
• Put the fish spring onions and milk in a shallow dish, cover with cling film and cook in the microwave for 1 ½ - 2 mins until just cooked. If you don't have a microwave, put everything in a saucepan and gently cook until just opaque and cooked through.
• Drain the fish and spring onions through a fine sieve. Gently mix through the potatoes, avoiding breaking up the fish too much, along with the sweetcorn, cheddar and a generous grind of black pepper. Form into 6 - 8 patties. The cooler the mash potato is when you do this, the easier it will be to form the patties as the mixture will be very soft when warm.
• Pour the egg on one plate and scatter flour on the other. Dip the patties in egg and then flour and arrange on a sheet of baking paper on a tray. Put the patties in the fridge for at least half an hour to firm up if the patties feel very soft. At this point you can freeze the patties, wrapped individually. Defrost throughly before moving onto the next stage.
• Heat a large frying pan with a generous glug of olive oil. When the oil is hot, carefully lower the fish cakes into the pan. Cook for 5 - 7 minutes or until golden brown underneath and then carefully flip them over. Fry for another 5 - 7 minutes or until golden on the bottom and heated all the way through.
