Step by step
0 / 5Here’s how.
An easier way today.
Dice potatoes small to cook faster. Steam fish and broccoli alongside.
What you can prepare ahead
Set out ingredients and wash vegetables. Cook the mixture containing raw egg immediately; do not leave it at room temperature.
Got interrupted? Tick off each step as you finish, so you can find your place again here.
When there is room for it today
Helping is welcome. Watching is too.
Your child can mash cooled potatoes. Adults check fish for bones and handle raw egg and the hot pan.
For your family table
Adapt for younger eaters.
Check fish carefully for bones before and after cooking. Keep cakes soft and cook broccoli thoroughly. From age 3; offer suitable small pieces.

Nutrient knowledge
These notes refer to the ingredients in the base recipe. The amount on the plate depends on preparation, portion size and swaps. Variety across the week makes the difference.
Make it work for you.
Leave out dill if preferred. Tender cooked carrots can replace broccoli; adjust the cooking time.
Taking it slowly today?
Keep a little potato and cooked fish separate before mixing. A small cake is an invitation, not a test.
Keeping it safely
Cool untouched leftovers promptly in shallow containers and refrigerate at 5°C or below within 2 hours. Eat within 24 hours; reheat once to at least 70°C throughout for 2 minutes. Do not return leftovers from used plates.
For younger eaters
Check fish carefully for bones before and after cooking. Keep cakes soft and cook broccoli thoroughly. From age 3; offer suitable small pieces.
