Instructions

Add all the ingredients to the food processor except the fish. Blend to a paste. Taste and make any adjustments if necessary.
Roughly chop the fish and add it to the food processor.
Take the mixture out of the food processor, using a tablespoon. Place spoonfuls on a plate and flatten slightly. You'll get about 6 spoonfuls. Put in the fridge for half an hour.
Heat some oil in a frying pan and then fry the fish cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Serve with lime wedges and a sweet chilli sauce.
