Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 400 grams white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 2 tablespoons red curry paste
- 1 large egg
- 50 grams panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon lime zest
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
- 80 grams green beans, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon neutral oil (for greasing the baking tray)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and lightly grease a baking tray with neutral oil or line it with parchment paper.
In a food processor, add the white fish fillets, red curry paste, egg, fish sauce, sugar, and lime zest. Blend until a smooth paste forms.
Transfer the fish mixture to a bowl. Add the panko breadcrumbs, chopped cilantro, and finely chopped green beans. Mix well to combine.
Using your hands, shape the mixture into small patties about 5-6 cm (2-2.5 inches) in diameter and place them onto the prepared baking tray.
Bake the fish cakes in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden and cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let them rest for 2-3 minutes before serving.
Serve the fish cakes warm with sweet chili dipping sauce, fresh lime wedges, and a side of salad or steamed jasmine rice.
