Method
1. For the pesto: tip all of the pesto ingredients into a food processor and blend to a rough paste. Set aside.

2. For the fishcakes: mix together all of the fishcake ingredients apart from the flour, egg, breadcrumbs and oil. Season with salt and black pepper then shape the mixture into 2 large or 4 smaller patties.

3. Roll the fishcakes in the flour, dusting off any excess, then dip in the egg and lastly the breadcrumbs, to coat completely.

4. Heat 1cm of oil in a frying pan over a medium heat and fry the fishcakes for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until crisp and golden and heated through.

5. Serve the fishcakes with the pesto.
