Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Boil the 2 potatoes in salted water until fork-tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. Step 2

    Poach the 300g fish fillets in simmering water for 5-7 minutes until opaque and flaky. Drain, then flake with a fork.

  3. Step 3

    Mash the potatoes, then mix with the flaked fish, 1 beaten egg, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Form into 8 small patties.

  4. Step 4

    Coat each patty in the 1 cup breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

  5. Step 5

    Heat 2 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Fry the croquettes until golden and crisp on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.

  6. Step 6

    Whisk the juice of 1 lime into the 1/2 cup mayonnaise. Toss the 2 cups watercress and 4 sliced radishes with half the dressing.

  7. Step 7

    Serve the croquettes over the salad, drizzle with remaining dressing, and add extra lime wedges if you like.
