Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in a large pan of simmering water for 10 mins until tender. Drain and leave to steam dry for 5 mins.
  2. Mash the potatoes until smooth. Season, then fold in the tuna and sweetcorn. Mould the mixture into 8 patties, and dust lightly in the flour on a plate.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the fishcakes in 2 batches and fry for 5-6 mins on each side until golden crust has formed. Flip carefully and fry for another 5 mins until piping hot throughout. Add a little more oil to the pan if you need to, for the second batch.
  4. Mix the lettuce, cucumber, tomatoes and coriander in a bowl, then divide between 4 plates. Top with the shards of cheese. Drizzle over the extra-virgin olive oil and a crack of black pepper to serve alongside the fishcakes.
