Begin by placing the fish fillets in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Be careful not to over-process as you want the mixture to still have some texture.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.
Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped fish, fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Mix all ingredients together until well combined.
Lightly beat the egg in a separate bowl and add it to the fish mixture. Stir well to bind the ingredients together.
Spread the panko breadcrumbs on a plate. Shape the fish mixture into 8 equal-sized patties (about 2 inches in diameter each). Carefully coat each patty in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly covered on all sides.
In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, gently place the fish patties in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd them.
Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.
Once cooked, remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the dairy-free crispy fish patties hot with a side of salad or your favorite dipping sauce.
