Smoked Mackerel Fish Cakes
This is a light meal to plate up for that person you want to impress with a cheap low quality fish. So turn down the chandeliers, light some tall candles, and stay close to the mouth wash. It is mackerel after all.
12 oz flaked smoked mackerel
1 lb potatoes
coriander
parsley
1/2 red onion
1/2 clove garlic
basil
1 tsp Dijon mustard
salt and pepper
4 oz flour
2 eggs, whisked a bit
8 oz oatmeal
Boil the potatoes in water until just soft, drain and leave to cool. In a
bowl mixed the mackerel chopped herbs, mustard and the finely diced onion
and garlic. Add the potatoes and mash to remove lumps, season with salt
and pepper and weigh out into 4oz cakes. Once all the mix is weighed dip
into flour, then egg and then the oatmeal. To cook you can either grill
gently, bake, deep fry or shallow fry. Note: frying is much easier. All
you do is cook in a non-stick pan for about 5-6 minutes each side in a
little olive oil or butter.
