Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock)
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 30 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Start by poaching the fish fillets: Fill a large skillet with an inch of water and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Add the fish to the skillet, cover, and poach for 5–7 minutes until the fish is opaque and flakes easily. Remove the fish and set aside to cool slightly, then flake into a large bowl.
In the bowl with the fish, add the almond flour, eggs, chopped parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until the mixture holds together when pressed.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a patty.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium heat. Once hot, cook the fish cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Serve the fish cakes hot, possibly with a side salad or dipping sauce of your choice.
