SMOKED HADDOCK, SPINACH & POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Boil whole potatoes in their skins for 30-40 mins, or until tender (timing depends on their size). Meanwhile, put the haddock in a pan with the milk, bring to the boil then quickly turn the heat down. Cover with a lid and poach for 3 mins or until just cooked. Set the haddock aside (reserving 2tbsp of the milk), then remove the skin from the fish and fork the flesh into large flakes.
• Once the potatoes are tender, drain and remove skins. Mash the flesh with two-thirds of the butter, plus the 2tbsp milk. Season if you like and let cool.
• Fry the onion in the rest of the butter for 5 mins until soft, but not coloured. Put the spinach into a pan with 1 tbsp water, cover and cook for 1½ mins on a very low heat. Drain, then squeeze all the water from the spinach and roughly chop.
• Mix the mash with the onion and spinach, then carefully mix in the fish - try to keep the flakes large and not overwork the mixture. Flour your hands then shape the mixture into 8 cakes, each about 8cm across, and dust with seasoned flour. Chill the cakes for 30 mins. Meanwhile, make the mayo by mixing all the ingredients together.
• Dip each cake in beaten egg, then breadcrumbs and fry in the hot oil for a couple of mins each side. (You can fry the cakes in 2 batches, using 2 tbsp of oil each time.) Serve with mayo and broccoli. If cooking from frozen, defrost overnight before reheating.

• In a large cast iron skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and shallot and cook for 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until softened (manage your heat so the garlic does not burn)
• Add the white wine, lemon juice, and artichoke hearts and cook for another 5 minutes until the liquid is slightly reduced.
• Add the fish to the skillet and turn the heat down to medium-low. Cover and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, or until the fish is flakey and fully cooked through.
