• Zest of 1/2 lemon
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

• 1 Place potato in a pot and cover with cold water, add half a teaspoon of salt.
  Bring to a boil, then cook for 15 minutes until soft. Strain and transfer the
  cooked potato to a mixing bowl, mash it roughly and allow to cool down.
• 2 In the meantime, sauté the onion and carrots in a tablespoon of olive oil for 2
  minutes, until softened. Transfer to the potatoes and cool all vegetables for
  15-20 minutes.
• 3 Add the rest of the fishcake ingredients, except for the flour, and mash
  together really well. Finally, add the flour and mix through.
• 4 Shape the mixture into small patties and arrange on a plate or a tray. You can
  store these in the fridge overnight covered with some Clingfilm or you can cook
  them right away.
• 5 Heat a few tablespoons of coconut oil or macadamia oil (or ghee) in a frying pan
  over medium-high heat. Add the fishcakes and cook for 4-5 minutes each side,
  until golden brown crust forms.
• 6 While the fish cakes are cooking, combine the aioli ingredients in a bowl and
  mix well. Toss the salad with the lemon juice, olive oil, salt and pepper and
  set aside.
• 7 Serve the fishcakes with a dollop of aioli and salad on the side. Enjoy!
