Instructions
1
Cook the potatoes in a pan of boiling water for 12-15 minutes until tender. Drain, mash with the low-fat spread, then season and set aside.
2
Meanwhile, put 1 litre water in a pan with the lemon slices, parsley sprigs and peppercorns. Bring to a simmer then reduce the heat to low, add 400g of the cod and poach for 4-5 minutes. Lift from the water using a slotted spoon, then flake into large chunks and set aside. Discard the poaching water.
3
Put the remaining cod, cornichons, chives, mustard and butter beans into a food processor. Season and pulse until well combined. Scrape the mixture into a bowl, add the mashed potato and stir to combine. Season well and gently fold the flaked fish into the mixture. Shape into 16 patties.
4
Combine the zest, breadcrumbs and chopped parsley with some seasoning on a plate. Press both sides of each of the patties into the crumb to give a light coating, then chill in the fridge for 20 minutes before cooking.
