Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
2Smoked mackerel; about 5oz each
2teaspoonsOlive oil
4ouncesCooked spinach
2ouncesButter
4Potatoes; peeled, boiled and
; mashed
2Eggs beaten
2tablespoonsFinely chopped fresh dill
½teaspoonFreshly grated nutmeg
Salt and pepper
5Floz natural yoghurt

Directions

Heat the grill and place the smoked mackerel underneath, drizzled with olive oil. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side. Carefully flake the fish off the skin.

Place the spinach in a saucepan with a tiny knob of butter and dry out over medium heat. Place the mackerel and spinach in a bowl with the butter, mashed potatoes, egg, dill, nutmeg, salt and pepper. Add yoghurt to mix to a fairly firm consistency; if it's too sloppy the fishcakes will not hold their shape.

Take a large egg-sized amount of mixture in your hands and form into a flat cake - you should be able to make 4 large fishcakes. Place under the grill and cook for 5-10 minutes, turning once. Serve hot.
