Step-by-step instructions

Follow each step in order. Photos show what to look for so the basket finish matches the plate.

Shape

  1. Make the mix

    Pulse fish with potato, egg, milk, flour, salt, nutmeg and white pepper until cohesive but not smooth. Shape into 8 patties. Chill 15-20 minutes.

    Chilling firms the cakes so they do not spread in the basket.

    Tip. Wet hands to shape cleanly.

Cook

  1. Air fry

    Mist cakes with oil. Cook at 380°F (193°C) for 11-13 minutes, flipping at 6, until golden and hot in the center.

    Look for a dry, browned crust. Serve with lemon and remoulade.
