Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (e.g., cod or haddock), skinless and boneless
- 2 large Eggs
- 100 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 100 ml Coconut oil or olive oil, for frying
- 1 Lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
Place the white fish fillets in a food processor and pulse until finely minced. Alternatively, chop finely with a knife.
Transfer the minced fish to a large mixing bowl.
Add eggs, almond flour, chopped parsley, chopped green onions, lemon zest, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the fish.
Mix thoroughly with a spoon or your hands until well combined.
Shape the mixture into 8-10 small cakes, about 1-1.5 cm thick each. Place them on a plate.
Heat coconut oil or olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
Add the fish cakes in batches to the pan, ensuring not to overcrowd it.
Fry each side for about 3-4 minutes, or until the fish cakes are golden brown and crispy.
Use a spatula to carefully flip the fish cakes halfway through cooking.
Once cooked, transfer the fish cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess oil.
Serve hot with lemon wedges on the side.
