Ingredients

30 ml sunflower oil
100 g white onion, finely chopped
1 tbsp crushed garlic
100 g baby spinach
10 ml Robertsons garlic and herb
10 ml lemon juice
300 g leftover fish (snoek), deboned
1 ½ cups butternut , roasted and mashed
4 - 5 tbsp Hellmann's original mayonnaise
15 ml parsley, chopped
Robertsons Atlantic sea salt, to season
Robertsons ground black peppercorns, to taste
125 ml cake flour

Cooking Method

Heat the oil in a pan and fry the onions until light golden in colour, then add the crushed garlic and baby spinach and cook until the spinach is soft (wilted).
Then add the Robertsons Garlic and Herb and lemon juice, and cook for 2 minutes.
Remove pot from heat and allow mixture to cool.
In a separate bowl, mix together your snoek and mashed butternut, and make sure the snoek breaks into smaller pieces. Add your Hellmann’s Mayonnaise and parsley and mix thoroughly.
Spoon in your fried onion and wilted spinach mixture and stir through.
Taste and season with Robertsons Salt and Pepper.
Add the flour in stages, mix it in-between until you can handle the mixture and can form it into patties.
Preheat some oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the patties in batches (don’t overcrowd the pan).
Once the patties are golden brown and slightly crispy, turn over and cook the other side.
Or:
Preheat the oven to 180°C and bake the patties in the oven until golden brown. (Sprinkle patties with a little oil to help with this).
Serve with a side salad or some roasted vegetables.
