Method
-
step 1
Put the fish and other ingredients except the flour and panko in the bowl of a food processor. Pulse to form a chunky paste, then transfer to a bowl and stir in the flour.
-
step 2
Using slightly wet hands, shape them into small patties, around 8-10. Tip the breadcrumbs onto a plate, and roll the fishcakes through to coat. Will keep chilled for two days
-
step 3
Heat the air fryer to 180C. Cook for 10-15 mins, turning halfway until golden and cooked through.
-
step 4
Meanwhile, for the smacked cucumber, lightly bash the cucumber along its length using a rolling pin, breaking the flesh a little without turning it to a pulp. Cut the cucumber in half and scoop out the seeds, then cut the flesh into bite-sized pieces. Sprinkle over 1/2 tsp salt, leave for 10 mins, then rinse well in cold water and drain.
-
step 5
Mix the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl and toss the cucumber through.
-
step 6
Heat the rice following pack instructions, then serve with the fishcakes, smacked cucumber, coriander sprinkled over and some sriracha for dipping.
