Soak your salt codfish overnight, then drain off water.

In a medium boiler half full with water, add your fish.

In another medium boiler half full with water, add ½ tsp sea salt (optional) and ½ medium onion, then add your potatoes.

In a medium frying pan, add 1 tsp butter and 1 tsp olive oil, melt, then add ½ medium chopped onion and fry until golden brown.

When fish and potatoes are cooked, drain off water.

In a large bowl, add your potatoes, sautéed onion, savoury, egg, and pepper, then mash together.

Flake the fish apart with a fork, ensuring there are no bones, then add to the bowl and continue mashing to mix all ingredients together.

In a small bowl, add ½ cup of flour.

Scoop the mixture with an ice cream scoop to make equal helpings, then form each scoop into a flat patty and roll in flour.

Preheat a medium frying pan, add 1 tsp butter and 1 tsp olive oil, then fry about four fish cakes until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side.
