Instructions

Cook the Potatoes
1

Preheat your oven to 220°C/200°C fan/gas mark 7. Boil a full kettle.

Chop the potatoes into 2cm chunks (peel first if you prefer). Peel the garlic. 

Pour the boiled water into a large saucepan on high heat with 1/2 tsp salt. Add the potatoes and half the peeled garlic to the water and cook until just tender, 12-14 mins.

About 5 mins before the potatoes are ready, drain the fish pie mix and add the fish to the pan. Simmer until the fish is cooked through, 5-6 mins. IMPORTANT: Wash your hands and equipment after handling raw fish. It's cooked when opaque in the middle.

Prep Time
2

Meanwhile, grate the remaining garlic (or use a garlic press). 

Grate the Cheddar cheese. Zest and quarter the lemon into wedges. 

In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and olive oil for the dressing (see pantry for both amounts) with the juice of half the lemon. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside for later. 

Make your Fish Cakes
3

Once the potatoes and fish are cooked, drain and allow to steam uncovered for 2 mins. Return to the pan, off the heat.

Mash together, ensuring the mixture isn't too smooth so that some small chunks of potato remain.

Stir in the vegetable stock paste, cheese, breadcrumbs and salt (see pantry for amount) and a pinch of lemon zest. Season with pepper and mix together.

Allow the mixture to cool slightly, then shape into 2cm thick patties, 3 per person. 

Time to Bake
4

Transfer the fish cakes to a large, lightly oiled baking tray.

Drizzle with oil, then bake on the top shelf of your oven until golden, 24-26 mins. Carefully turn halfway through.

Finishing Touches
5

Meanwhile, a few mins before the fish cakes are ready, pop a small frying pan on medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil.

Once hot, add the peas and stir-fry for 2-3 mins. 

Add the baby leaves to the bowl with the dressing. Toss to coat.

In a small bowl, combine the wholegrain mustard and the mayo (see pantry for amount). Season with salt and pepper. 

Serve Up
6

Share the fish cakes between your plates.
Serve with the salad, peas and mustard mayo alongside, as well as any remaining lemon wedges for squeezing over.

Enjoy!
