Method

  1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Boil the potatoes for 12-15 mins until cooked through. Drain and set aside to steam for 5 mins.
  2. Put the potatoes in a mixing bowl and mash until smooth. Add the mackerel, spring onions and curry powder. Season and mix – the mackerel will flake into pieces.
  3. Line a dinner plate and a baking sheet with baking paper. Transfer the fishcake mix to the lined plate and pat into a 20cm circle. Brush the top with 1⁄2 tbsp oil, sprinkle over a third of the breadcrumbs and press into the top of the fishcake; invert the fishcake onto the baking sheet. Brush 1 tbsp oil over the top and sides, then scatter over and press in the remaining breadcrumbs. Bake for 25 mins or until golden and crispy.
  4. Meanwhile, heat the remaining oil in a lidded frying pan over a medium-high heat. Stir-fry the cabbage for 5-6 mins until golden and wilted. Add the garlic and chilli, cook for 2 mins, then add the soy sauce and 4 tbsp water. Cover and steam for 4-5 mins, then remove from the heat. Serve with the fishcake.
