Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh white fish fillets
- 100 grams breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 0.25 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 egg, lightly beaten
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a food processor, pulse the fish fillets until finely chopped but not a paste.
In a large bowl, combine the minced fish, breadcrumbs, red onion, parsley, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Shape the mixture into 8 equal-sized patties.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.
Place half of the patties into the skillet, avoiding overcrowding, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked patties to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining oil and patties.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the patties for an additional 5 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
Remove the patties from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve with a fresh green salad and some lemon wedges on the side for a complete Mediterranean meal.
