Easy Peasy Fish Cakes


I use breadcrumbs instead of potatoes as it makes the cakes a bit lighter and somehow easier to eat for little ones, if there's a wheat alergy then oatmeal is a good alternative.

Mackerel, haddock, salmon and tuna are all high in Omega-3 so are good choices here, but really any fish will do, fresher the better.

3 fish fillets, de-boned and skinned about 500g
handful or two slices of brownbread crumbs
1 egg
juice of a lemon
few sprigs of fresh parsley or coriander
salt and pepper to taste
olive oil

1. Put all the ingredients expect the olive oil into a food processor and mix thoroughly, taking care not to over do it as you will end up with mush. Alternatively put all the ingredients in a bowl and use a hand blender to process.
2. Make into round patties a little smaller than the size of a burger.
3. Cook them in the olive oil until they are golden brown and a little crispy on the outside.

Great served with green beans, broccoli or other favourite veg. If your children like it, these are also delicious served with sweet chili sauce for dipping into.
