Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
- 2 medium-sized potatoes
- 1 small onion
- 2 garlic cloves
- 2 tbsp parsley
- 1 large egg
- 120 g breadcrumbs
- 1 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
- 100 ml vegetable oil (for frying)
- 120 ml mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp sriracha (or hot sauce)
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 stalk spring onion (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain, mash, and set aside to cool slightly.
While the potatoes are boiling, steam or poach the fish fillets until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Let the fish cool, then flake it using a fork.
Finely chop the onion, garlic, and parsley. Combine them with the mashed potatoes, flaked fish, egg, 60 g of breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika in a large mixing bowl. Mix well to form a cohesive mixture.
Shape the fish mixture into patties, approximately 6-8 cm in diameter and 2 cm thick. You should yield 8-10 patties.
Dredge each patty in the remaining breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick well.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
For the spicy mayonnaise, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Adjust the spice level to your taste by adding more or less sriracha.
Serve the fish patties warm, garnished with chopped spring onions if desired, alongside the spicy mayonnaise for dipping or drizzling.
