Barramundi & Broccoli Fish Cakes
Our Fish Cake Spice Mix is a tangy combo of coriander, sumac fennel, mace, ginger, lemon myrtle, dill, parsley and Australian native pepperberry, The blend makes whipping up fish cakes a breeze, and not to mention extremely tasty. You can easily substitute the barramundi fillets for a firm white fish such as snapper, hake, ling, perch, cod or sea bass, and we can guarantee these will become a family favourite in no time.

Instructions
- Place fish fillets skin side up in a deep pan and cover with milk. Bring to a gentle boil over low-medium heat then turn off heat and allow fish to continue cooking for 10 minutes.
- Peel and cut the potatoes into chunks and cook until tender. Mash with butter and season to taste.
- Chop the cooked broccoli finely and stir into the mash along with the egg, lemon zest, spice mix and ¼ cup breadcrumbs.
