Sardine Fishcakes

These are little cakes of deliciousness. Really simple to make but packed full of flavour with plenty of my favourite vitamin D!

Sardine Fishcakes (from Good Food Magazine February 2010)
(Serves 4)

600g potatoes, cut into chunks

2 120g cans sardines in spring water, drained

4 tbsp chopped parsley

zest and juice 1 small lemon

3 tbsp light mayonnaise

4 tbsp fat-free Greek yogurt

1 tbsp seasoned plain flour

4 tsp sunflower oil

green salad and lemon wedges, to serve

 

Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender, about 15-20 mins. Meanwhile, coarsely mash the sardines in a bowl. Mix in 3 tbsp chopped parsley and half the lemon zest and juice. Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise and yogurt with the remaining parsley, lemon zest and juice and some seasoning.

Drain the potatoes, then mash until smooth. Gently mix into the sardine mixture and season. Shape into 8 fat fish cakes using floured hands, then dust lightly with the seasoned flour.

Heat half the oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry half the fish cakes for 3-4 mins on each side until golden and crisp. Keep warm; repeat with remaining oil and fish cakes.
