Instructions

It is our secret of the simplicity!

Preheat oven 180c and prepare baking trays with baking paper
In a bowl, add all your ingredients and mould with your hands the preferred size for your fish cakes depending on how you are serving them – main meal, slightly larger or nibbles, small bites
Place fish cakes on the baking tray, Drizzle with olive oil. Season and optional, squeeze a lemon over the cakes. Bake for 20 minutes until cooked
I like to add a tray of homemade wedges in the oven at the same time. Simply cut potatoes into wedges, Drizzle with olive oil and season.
Serve with a lovely summer salad and white rice if you are serving hungry peeps!
