Oven Baked Fishcakes with Fennel Coleslaw

Summer comfort food

I had some fish pie mix in the freezer that needed using, but the weather is too warm for a hearty pie.  

Fish Cakes

Ingredients

• Potato 
• Onion
• Fish
• Milk

Method

1.  Finely chop an onion and poach with the fish in 50:50 milk/water. 

2.  Drain, reserving liquid, cool and flake the fish.
3.  Scrub and chop the potatoes and boil until just tender.  

4.  Drain and let the moisture steam off them.  

5.  Mash with a little of the fish milk and let them cool, the dryer and colder the better.

6.  Mix the fish and onion into the cold potato, shape into cakes and place on lightly oiled baking tray.
