Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Skinless fish fillets (e.g., cod, tilapia)
- 1 Medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
- 1 Egg white
- 80 grams Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- Olive oil spray
Instructions
Begin by placing the fish fillets in a pot with enough water to cover them. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Poach the fish for about 5-7 minutes or until fully cooked and opaque. Drain the water and set the fish aside to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, crumble the cooked fish fillets using your hands or a fork, ensuring there are no large pieces.
Add the finely chopped onion, parsley, dill, egg white, breadcrumbs, lemon juice, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the crumbled fish.
Mix the ingredients thoroughly until everything is well combined and the mixture holds together when formed into a ball.
Shape the mixture into 8 equally sized patties, each about 1.5 cm thick.
Preheat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil.
Cook the fish patties in the pan for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and heated through. Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches if necessary.
Remove the patties from the pan and let them rest on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm with a side of salad, steamed vegetables, or use in sandwiches with your choice of accompaniments.
