Method
- To make the fishcakes: Put the fish in a bowl with the cornflour, milk, a generous amount of nutmeg, lemon zest and dill fronds, and use a stick blender, or strong fork, to turn the mixture into a 'mush'.
- Shape the mixture into 4 patties.
- Chill before cooking, if you have time.
- Spray the fishcakes with a little oil and cook in a hot pan over a medium heat for a couple of min each side until just golden.
- Then turn the heat down and cook for another 3-4 mins.
- To make the sauce: Measure the milk in a large jug. Whisk in the cornflour, add the spread and microwave on Full power for 3 mins, whisking well a couple of times to make a smooth sauce. Stir in the prawns, a good squeeze of lemon juice, seasoning and some dill fronds.
- Cook for another half-minute.
- Spoon the sauce over the fishcakes.
- Serve with potatoes and steamed green vegetables, and with lemon wedges, if you like.
