By A colourful twist on the traditional fish cake.
Fish cakes that pack a flavourful punch. Pick a colour to cook (see recipe notes) and serve with a side of your choice; fresh greens, plus garlic mayo for dipping is a family fave.. although my daughter prefers baked beans!
This recipe takes under 15 minutes to prep, and the kids can ‘help’ shape their cakes.

MAKE THE CAKE
In a clean bowl, add the flour, egg, chopped parsley and the fish and leek mix.
Add in the lemon zest, then mash together until smooth and even.
Dust a dinner plate with a little flour.
Divide the mixture into 12 fishy floury balls (or some big and small ones for the kids).
Pat and flatten them down on the floured plate… and shape them into discs about 2cm thick.
Add a little more flour if the cakes get sticky.
