Add the sautéed onion to the mashed potatoes and mix well.

Incorporate flaked fish, egg, and lemon juice into the mixture.

Season with salt, black pepper, garlic, mustard, and herbs; mix until combined.

Shape the mixture into patties or cakes.

Dredge each patty in flour, then coat with bread crumbs.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the fish cakes for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve warm with a dipping sauce or garnish of choice.
