Melting Fish Cakes with Spinach, Peas and Pesto

More of an assembly process than a recipe. These ready made fish cakes can be a saviour after a long day at work. Pair them with this quick and easy medley of spinach, peas and green beans with a spoonful of pesto to pimp this super easy supper. We have allowed for 1 generous fish cake per person. You may want to pop another packet into your basket for hungrier family members.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Place 4 fish cakes onto a baking tray and pop into the oven to bake for 20 minutes.

Step 2

When your fish cakes have just 5 minutes remaining, place a large frying pan onto the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp oil (or butter) to the pan. When hot, add 200g baby spinach and cook until it starts to wilt. This will take about 1 minutes. Now add 200g peas and 200g sliced green beans. Add 2 tbsp pesto, salt, pepper and the juice of a 1/4 of a lemon. Mix well and cook until the vegetables have all defrosted (1-2 minutes).

Step 3

Remove the fish cakes from the oven and divide between 4 plates. Add the medley of pesto veggies and serve with a wedge of lemon and a sprinkle of salt on each fish cake.
