Method
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
