Difficulty Easy

Prep Time 20 minutes, plus 30 minutes chilling time

Cooking Time 45 minutes

Ingredients

2 x 170 g tuna cans, drained
3 potatoes, peeled, cooked and mashed
3 free-range eggs, beaten
3 T parsley chopped
1 t lemon zest
sea salt and ground white pepper, to taste
2 cups sunflower oil
3 T flour
200 g panko crumbs or breadcrumbs
lemon wedges, for serving

For the tartare sauce, mix:

2 large gherkins, diced
8 capers
½ cup good-quality mayonnaise
2 T parsley chopped
½ lemon, juiced

Method

1. Mix the tuna, potatoes, 1 beaten egg, parsley, lemon zest and seasoning. Shape into 4 large fish cakes.

3. Heat the oil and deep-fry the fish cakes over a medium heat until golden brown. Drain on kitchen paper and serve hot with the tartare sauce and lemon wedges. Season with salt.

Cook's note: If you like, use canned salmon instead of tuna. You can also use dried breadcrumbs instead of fresh.
