Ingredients
 

  • 1 lemon
  • 400 g (14 oz) firm white fish such as cod, tilapia or haddock
  • 1 egg
  • 30 g (2 tbsp) mayonnaise
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 cloves garlic grated or finely minced
  • 1 shallot finely diced
  • 2 tbsp flat-leaf parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp thyme finely chopped
  • 75 g (1¼ cups) panko breadcrumbs

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 180°C/350°F. Zest the lemon and reserve the zest for later. Cut the lemon in half and cut one half into thin slices. Reserve the other half of the lemon.
    Prepping the lemon
  • Set the fish on a parchment-lined baking sheet and season generously with salt and pepper. Cover with the lemon slices and move to the oven for 10-15 minutes, until the internal temperature registers at 60°C/145°F.
    Cooking the fish
  • Meanwhile, add the egg, mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire sauce and garlic to a large mixing bowl. Squeeze in the juice of the reserved half lemon and the lemon zest. Add ¼ tsp of salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
    Whisking the mixture
  • Discard the lemon slices and use a fork to break the cooked fish into flakes and add to the bowl with the egg mixture. Add in the shallot, parsley and thyme and season generously with black pepper. Mix until thoroughly combined.
    Mixing the breadcrumbs in
  • Sprinkle over the breadcrumbs and stir until just combined and the mixture holds together when squeezed. Divide the mixture into 4 equal patties.
    Forming the patties
  • Cover a large skillet with oil and set over medium heat. Once shimmering, add the fish cakes and cook for 5 minutes before flipping and cooking for a further 5 minutes. Serve immediately alongside lemon wedges and tartar sauce.
