Cheesy Fish Cakes With Spring Onions

1. 1

   If necessary skin the cod fillets (if using frozen fish this is much easier done before thawing) and mince or chop in a food processor.

2. 2

   Put in a bowl with the breadcrumbs.

3. 3

   Chop the spring onions finely, using as much of the green stalk as possible, and add to the fish and breadcrumbs together with the grated cheese and capers.

4. 4

   Season with salt and the chilli powder and mix all together thoroughly with a wooden spoon.

5. 5

   Whisk the egg and egg yolk and stir into the mixture.

6. 6

   With well-floured hands, shape the mixture into fairly small fish cakes.

7. 7

   Heat a good blob of butter in a large frying pan.

8. 8

   Fry the fish cakes (you will probably have to do them in two batches) over a medium heat for 5 - 8 minutes on each side until golden brown, turning carefully once with a fish slice.

9. 9

   Transfer to a dish, pour over any extra butter from the pan the serve.

10. 10

    (if necessary they will keep hot in a low oven perfectly well for an hour or so).
