Preparation

Step 1

Melt 1 tbsp butter in a skillet over medium heat and cook cod for 4–5 minutes on each side. Let cool, then flake the cod and set aside.
In a saucepan, cook potatoes in salted boiling water for 15 minutes or until tender.
Drain potatoes and mash until smooth.
Transfer potatoes to a bowl and add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, egg and Cheddar. Stir until well blended.

Crush cereal and place in a dish.
Shape approx. ⅓ cup (75 ml) of cod mixture into a ball, then roll in the crushed cereal. Place on a plate and flatten slightly.
Heat oil and remaining butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook fish cakes for 4–5 minutes on each side. Serve hot.
