Time 1h15m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

500 g floury potatoes, peeled, cut into large chunks
15 g butter
350 g smoked mackerel
1/2 lemon, juice and 1 tsp finely grated zest
2 tablespoons dill, chopped
1 teaspoon mustard
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon flour, for dusting
15 g butter, for frying
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying
150 ml sour cream
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1/2 teaspoon mustard
1 tablespoon horseradish, grated (can be from a jar)
1/2 apple, peeled, cored and grated

Steps:

  • Boil the potatoes until tender, drain and mash with the butter. Allow to cool enough to handle.
  • Remove the skin and bones from the mackerel and break the flesh into large chunks. Combine with the potato, lemon juice, zest, dill, mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well.
  • With wet hands form the mixture into eight cakes. Lightly dust with flour, place on a plate or tray and cover with clingfilm before refrigerating for 30 minutes to firm up (this makes the cakes easier to handle).
  • Meanwhile gently combine sour cream with the rest of the ingredients. Set aside and keep in the fridge.
  • Heat half the butter and oil and fry the cakes over a medium heat, four at a time, on both sides for 6 minutes on the first side, then about four on the other. Don't turn the cakes over until they have a nice crust. Keep warm.
  • Serve with the horseradish and apple sauce and lemon wedges.

The smokiness of the mackerel really came through in these fishcakes. It was a nice touch.

I loved the crispy coating on these fishcakes. It was the perfect contrast to the soft and flaky fish.

Overall, I thought these fishcakes were good, but not great. I would probably try a different recipe next time.

These fishcakes were a bit too dry for my taste. I think I would have added more mayonnaise or milk to the batter.

I found these fishcakes to be a bit bland. I think I would have added more spices and herbs to the batter.

These fishcakes were a bit too oily for my taste. I think I would have preferred to pan-fry them instead of baking them.

I love the smokiness of the mackerel in these fishcakes. It really gives them a unique flavor. I also like the fact that they're baked, not fried. It makes them a healthier option.

These fishcakes were easy to make and turned out great. I used fresh mackerel from the market, and it really made a difference in the flavor. I also added a bit of chopped parsley to the batter, which gave them a nice pop of color.

I'm not a huge fan of mackerel, but I really enjoyed these fishcakes. The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. I especially liked the crispy coating.

These fishcakes were a hit! I made them for a dinner party and everyone raved about them. They were so flavorful and moist, and the smokiness from the mackerel really came through. I'll definitely be making these again.
