Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Fresh white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock), skinless
- 50 grams Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 pieces Scallions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large pot, bring water to a boil and gently add the fish fillets. Poach the fish for about 5 minutes or until cooked through and flaky. Remove the fish and drain well, then set aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, eggs, chopped scallions, parsley, lemon zest, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.
Once the fish is cool enough to handle, break it into flakes using your hands or a fork.
Add the flaked fish to the almond flour mixture, and use your hands to combine everything until well mixed.
Shape the mixture into small patties, about 8 in total for even sizes.
In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil.
Add the fish patties to the skillet, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the patties to an oven-safe dish and place in the preheated oven for an additional 5 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a simple tartar sauce.
Serve the fish cakes hot, with a dollop of the homemade tartar sauce on the side.
