Cooking Steps

Make the mash
1

• Boil the kettle. Half-fill a large saucepan with boiling 
water, then add a generous pinch of salt.
• Peel potato and cut into large chunks.
• Cook potato in the boiling water over high heat until 
easily pierced with a fork, 12-15 minutes. Drain and 
return to the pan.
• Season generously with salt. Mash until smooth and 
allow to cool slightly.


TIP: Save time and get more fibre by leaving the potato 
unpeeled.  

Cook the barramundi
2
  • Meanwhile, in a large frying pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium-high heat. Pat barramundi dry with paper towel and season both sides.
  • When oil is hot, cook barramundi, skin-side down first, until just cooked through, 5-6 minutes each side (depending on thickness).
  • Transfer to a large bowl, allow to cool slightly and flake into bite-sized chunks, discarding the skin.

TIP: Patting the skin dry helps it crisp up in the pan!
TIP: White fish is cooked through when the centre turns from translucent to white.

Get prepped

• While the barramundi is cooking, thinly slice red radish.
• Roughly chop dill (including stalk!).
• Zest lemon to get a pinch, then slice into wedges.
• In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, lemon zest 
and a good squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste 
and set aside. 

Make the fritters
4

• To the bowl with flaked barramundi, add mashed 
potato, dill, the egg, salt and plain flour.
• Using damp hands, shape mixture into 2cm-thick 
fish cakes (3 per person).
• Evenly spread fine breadcrumbs on a large 
plate. Carefully press barramundi fish cakes into 
breadcrumbs, turning to coat.

Cook the fritters
5

• Return frying pan to high heat with enough olive 
oil to coat the base. When oil is hot, cook fish cakes 
until golden, 2-3 minutes each side.
• Transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate. 


TIP: If your pan is getting crowded, cook in batches for 
the best results! 
TIP: Add extra oil if needed to ensure the fish cakes don’t 
stick to the bottom of the pan. 

Finish & serve
6

• In a second large bowl, combine mixed salad leaves, radish, a drizzle of olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice. Season to taste.
• Spread base of serving plates with zesty cream cheese, then top with barramundi, dill and potato  fish cakes.
• Sprinkle over everything garnish (see ingredients) and serve with radish salad and remaining lemon wedges. Enjoy!
