  1. SWEET TATERS

    Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place the sweet potato in a pot of salted water. Bring to the boil and cook until soft, 15-20 minutes. Drain and place in a bowl. Mash with a fork or potato masher and set aside to cool in the fridge for at least 10 minutes.

  2. PREPARATION STATION

    Place the pecan nuts in a pan over medium heat. Toast until golden brown, 2-4 minutes (shifting occasionally). Remove from the pan and roughly chop. Set aside. Roughly chop the trout ribbons. Loosen the crème fraîche with a splash of water and a squeeze of Lemon juice.

  3. HI, SWEETCAKES!

    When the sweet potato has cooled, add the trout, ½ the parsley, ½ the spring onion, ½ the Capers, the lemon zest (to taste), the corn flour, and a sprinkle of pepper to the bowl. Mix until combined. Wet your hands slightly to prevent the mixture from sticking to them and roll into 2-3 fishcakes per portion.

  4. GOLDEN DELICIOUS

    Place the fishcakes on a greased baking tray and lightly coat in oil. Bake in the hot oven, 15-20 minutes. In the final 5 minutes, turn the oven to the grill setting or the highest temperature and grill until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. BROC MY WORLD

    Return the pan to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil. When hot, fry the broccoli until lightly charred, 5-6 minutes. Season and set aside.

  6. GREEN MACHINE

    In a salad bowl, combine the broccoli, the green leaves, the remaining Capers, the feta, the nuts, a squeeze of lemon juice, seasoning, and a drizzle of olive oil. Toss until combined.

  7. DIVINE!

    Plate up the homemade fishcakes. Side with the charred broccoli salad. Garnish with the remaining parsley and spring onion. Serve with the crème fraîche for dunking. Well done, Chef!
