Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams white fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock)
- 300 grams potatoes, peeled and diced
- 30 grams fresh coriander leaves, chopped
- 2 pieces spring onions, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 60 grams breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Instructions
Boil the potatoes in salted water for 10-12 minutes or until tender. Drain and mash, then set aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are boiling, lightly steam or poach the fish fillets for 5-7 minutes or until they are just cooked through. Remove from heat, let cool slightly, and flake into small pieces, discarding any bones or skin.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes and flaked fish. Add the chopped coriander, spring onions, lime juice, minced garlic, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix gently until the ingredients are well incorporated.
Crack the egg into the mixture and stir until it acts as a binding agent for the fish cake mixture.
With clean hands, shape the mixture into 8 evenly-sized patties (about 2-3 inches in diameter). Coat each patty in breadcrumbs, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, fry the fish cakes in batches for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the pan.
Remove the fish cakes from the pan and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Serve warm with a side of salad, dipping sauce, or a wedge of lime for extra freshness.
