Method

  1. Boil the potatoes for 15 mins until tender. Drain well, then mash until smooth. Set aside for 10 mins to cool. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C, and line a baking sheet with nonstick baking paper.
  2. Flake the fish into the mash, season and stir in the lemon zest and most of the dill. Shape on a plate into a 20cm round and press three-quarters of the breadcrumbs into the top and sides.
  3. Carefully invert onto the lined baking sheet. Press on the remaining breadcrumbs. Spray with oil and bake for 25 mins until golden and piping hot.
  4. Meanwhile, whisk the lemon juice with 2 tbsp oil, the mustard and vinegar; season. Toss through the salad and divide between 4 plates. Scatter the fishcake with the remaining dill, slice into wedges and serve with the salad.
