Method

  • step 1

    In a large bowl, mix together the potato, spring onions, horseradish and mackerel, then shape into 8 even-size cakes. Roll the fishcakes in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the egg, followed by the breadcrumbs. Cover and chill until ready to cook. Can be prepared up to a day ahead, or frozen.

  • step 2

    Gently grill or shallow-fry the fishcakes for 5-6 mins on each side until crunchy, golden brown and hot all the way through. Serve with salad and lemon wedges.

RECIPE TIPS
MAKING YOUR OWN DRIED BREADCRUMBS

Whizz stale or end crusts of white bread in a food processor. Line a baking sheet with kitchen paper, spread out the crumbs and leave for 24 hours or until completely dry. Store in an airtight container for 1 month. For flavoured breadcrumbs, add a pinch of spices or herbs, such as paprika or thyme, to the processor.

….. forgot to add - I added a whole packet of chopped dill. Served simply with green beans. I will try experimenting with different fish but this is a very economical meal.

Absolutely delicious! I cooked them in the air fryer- 20 min at 180. Next time I will make a larger batch to freeze as they are very easy to make but a little time consuming.

question

Horseraddish sauce… what exactly do you mean? Is this a bechamel kind of sauce made by me, or is it some ready-made store-bought product, or… ? Thanks! Am looking forward to make this dish.

Hi, thanks for checking. This should be horseradish sauce in a jar - you can use 'creamed' horseradish sauce or 'hot' horseradish sauce - the latter is hotter/less creamy. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
