These delicate fishcakes are simply made with white fish, onion, herbs, lightly fried, and served with a fresh ribboned zucchini salad. To bump up the healthy fats, add a dollop of sour cream to the fishcakes and some sliced avocado to the salad.

Instructions
- Slice the zucchini into ribbons, using a vegetable peeler. Place into a medium-sized bowl with the remaining zucchini salad ingredients. Stir to combine, and set aside.
- Cut the fish fillets into small pieces, and place into a food processor bowl. Add the onion, herbs, and salt. Pulse to form a rough paste.
- Measure 1/3 cup (80 ml) of the mixture for each fishcake (two fish cakes per serving). Using your hands, form even-sized fishcakes.
- Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Fry the fishcakes for about 4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and cooked through.
- Serve the warm fishcakes with the zucchini salad on the side.

Tips
Any white fish is suitable, such as haddock, cod or coley. If you're catering for a crowd, buy frozen white fish and defrost them overnight.
If using previously frozen fish fillets, squeeze out any liquid before adding to the food processor bowl.
Cooking time will vary, depending on the thickness of the fish cakes; thinner fishcakes will require less time than thicker ones.

I was wondering exactly the same thing.
That was an oversight. The Recipe Team has made the adjustment to the instructions. These are pan fried.
