Method

  1. Boil the potatoes in a large pan of water for 10-15 mins until tender. Transfer to a large bowl and mash with the milk.
  2. Boil the peas for 2 mins. Drain, mix with the mash and add the spring onion, tuna and season well. Shape the mixture into 12 patties. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a plate.
  3. Dip each fishcake in the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off, then dip in the breadcrumbs to coat. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
  4. Heat half the oil in a nonstick frying pan, add 2-3 fishcakes at a time and cook for about 3-4 mins on each side until golden and crispy.
  5. Toss the rocket and tomatoes together in a bowl, drizzle with the remaining olive oil, season well and serve with the fishcakes.
