Method
- Boil the potatoes for 18-20 mins. Add the cabbage and two-thirds of the spring onions and cook for 1 min or until the potatoes are soft. Drain, then tip back into the pan over the heat for 1 min to steam-dry.
- Cook the kippers to pack instructions. Tip any buttery juices into the potatoes and mash well. Flake the fish from the skin and stir through the potatoes, then shape the mixture into 8 cakes.
- Put the flour on a plate, the egg in a shallow bowl and breadcrumbs on another plate. Coat the fishcakes in the flour, followed by the egg and then breadcrumbs. If you have time, chill for 30 mins.
- Heat 2 tsp oil in a nonstick frying pan over a medium heat and fry the fishcakes in batches for 4-5 mins each side until golden. Meanwhile, boil the broccoli and peas for 3 mins.
- Drain the veg, then toss with the remaining spring onions and juice from ¼ lemon; season. Mix the lemon zest and remaining juice through the crème fraîche with 1 tbsp of water. Serve the fishcakes with the veg and lemony sauce, plus lemon wedges.
