How to make Thai Fish Cakes:
- Firstly, preheat the oven to 200C. Chop the potatoes into small cubes and boil until fully cooked through (around 10 minutes, test softness with a fork) then mash with butter.
- While the potatoes are cooking, prepare the breadcrumbs by blending (or grating) 2 slices of bread. Add salt and pepper and half of the grated lemon zest. The zest from the other lemon half can be frozen or used for baking.
- Prepare fresh fish by steaming or cooking in the microwave for around 4 minutes, then flake with a fork and add to the mashed potato. For tinned fish or prawns, just add and mix.
- Add finely chopped chilli, coriander, lemon juice and salt and pepper to the fish cake mixture and stir well. Form the fish cakes into small patties by hand.
- Press the fish cakes into the breadcrumbs until evenly coated on all sides and place on a baking tray to go into the oven for about 20 minutes or until golden.
