Steps

  • Place salmon and cod in a deep container and cover with salted boiling water and a dash of white wine vinegar.
  • Remove cod after 20 minutes and salmon after 30 minutes, then warm briefly in a pan.
  • Flake the fish into a bowl and mix with mashed potato, onions, chillies, herbs, lemon juice, and zest.
  • Shape the mixture into 12 fishcakes and coat them in flour.
  • Fry the cakes in butter and oil for 6 to 8 minutes until golden on both sides.
  • Soak breadcrumbs in vinegar, then process with herbs, garlic, and seasoning into a coarse paste.
  • Slowly incorporate the olive oil into the processor with the motor running.
  • Add anchovies and capers and pulse for 2 seconds to retain texture.
  • Boil eggs for 3 minutes, peel while warm, stir yolks into the sauce, and fold in chopped whites.
