Step-by-step
- Coat the tin in a thick foil and preheat the oven to 180C (fan oven).
- Dice the cod fillet into small pieces. Put half the amount of cod in a food processor to make a paste. Add the egg white, panko, garlic, ginger, sugar, salt and sake and blend well until smooth. Mix together the paste with the rest of the diced fish and add the chopped herbs.
- Spread the fishcake mixture into an 18cm x 18cm baking tin and flatten evenly. Pour two cups of water into a large baking dish and then place the tin in the water to bake in the oven for 25 minutes.
- Meanwhile, fry the shallot and garlic for 2 minutes. Add the edamame and stock or water to the pan and bring it to the boil. Simmer for 5 minutes, and then add the mint leaves and lime juice and season with sea salt and pepper. Purée with a hand blender or a food processor.
- For the topping, mix the panko breadcrumbs and olive oil in a small mixing bowl, spread on a baking tray and bake for 5-7 minutes on 150 degrees until golden.
- Place the edamame purée on each serving plate and top with the fishcake, sprinkled with the panko topping, edamame beans and lime zest.
