    Ingredients

    • 4 mackerel fillets
    • 2 oranges
    • 1 bulb of fennel, trimmed and thinly sliced
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 2 cloves of garlic, crushed
    • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
    • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 2 tablespoons butter
    • 2 tablespoons white wine
    • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped

    Method

    • To make Tuna Fish Cakes, start by draining the canned tuna. 
    • While the rice is cooking, prepare the eel by grilling or frying it.
    • Put the tomato paste, olives, and butter into a blender or food processor and whizz until smooth.
    • Put the oats in the blender or food processor, slightly broken up.
    • Coat the fillets with the butter mixture while grilling.
    • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add the fish cakes.
    • Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the mackerel is cooked through.
    • Dip in the flour and coat each fishcake. Dip in the egg and then coat with crumbs. Repeat this process until you have 24 fishcakes. Chill the fish cakes for one hour.
