Instructions

  • Heat the oven to 360°F (180°C). Prepare a baking sheet lined with baking paper.
  • Bring a pan of water to the boil and cook the potatoes for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drain well, then return to the pan and mash with the mustard, anchovies, green onions, capers, and tarragon until well combined. Now stir through the raw cod.
  • Shape the mixture into 8 even-sized fishcakes, then coat lightly in the flour.
  • Beat the eggs in a shallow bowl and coat the fishcakes in the egg mixture. Now coat each of the fishcakes with ½ tablespoon of the ground almonds and place on the baking sheet.
  • Place the fishcakes into the hot oven to bake for 20 minutes until golden brown, turning each fishcake over halfway through.
  • Meanwhile, place the peas and leeks in a pot and cover with boiling water. Cook on medium-high for 10 minutes, then drain and stir through the mint.
