Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Skillet
- Spatula
- Whisk
- Cutting board
Ingredients
- 1 pound white fish fillet such as cod or haddock, skinned and boned
- 1 cup mashed potatoes use freshly cooked for better texture
- 2 tablespoons chopped parsley freshly chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest freshly grated
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 cup breadcrumbs panko-style recommended
- 1 large egg beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil extra virgin for frying
Instructions
- Preparing the Fish: In a skillet over medium heat, sauté the white fish fillet with a tablespoon of olive oil until fully cooked and flakes easily, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then flake the fish with a fork.
- Mixing the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the flaked fish, mashed potatoes, chopped parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to achieve a homogeneous mixture through gentle folding.
- Forming the Cakes: Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a cake, about 3 inches in diameter. Dip each cake into the beaten egg and then coat completely with breadcrumbs.
- Cooking the Cakes: Heat the remaining olive oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the cakes until golden brown and crispy on both sides, around 4 to 5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.
Notes
- If you do not have panko breadcrumbs, regular breadcrumbs can be used, though they will result in a slightly different texture.
- For a healthier version, consider baking the fish cakes at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes instead of frying.
