Ingredients

• 400 grams Cod fillets (or any white fish such as haddock)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 300 grams Potato
• 100 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 2 pieces Spring onions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 large Egg
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 50 grams Gluten-free flour
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 0 Sour cream or tartar sauce (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and chop the potatoes into small chunks. Boil them in a pot of salted water for about 10-15 minutes or until tender. Drain the potatoes and set aside.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Add the cod fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they are cooked through and flake easily with a fork.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked potatoes and mash until smooth. Crumble the cooked fish into the mashed potatoes, making sure to remove any bones.

Step 4

Add the chopped spring onions, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to the potato and fish mixture. Stir well to combine.

Step 5

In a small bowl, beat the egg, then add it to the fish mixture and stir to combine.

Step 6

Shape the mixture into 8 even-sized patties.

Step 7

Place the gluten-free breadcrumbs on a plate. Dredge each fish cake in the breadcrumbs, pressing the crumbs onto all sides to adhere.

Step 8

Dust each patty lightly with gluten-free flour to ensure they hold together well during cooking.

Step 9

Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat. Cook the fish cakes in batches for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crisp.

Step 10

Transfer the cooked fish cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

Step 11

Serve warm with a dollop of sour cream or tartar sauce, if desired.
