Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams Whitefish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock)
- 200 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)
Instructions
1. Prepare the seafood: Pat the whitefish fillets and shrimp dry with paper towels. Chop both into small chunks, then place them in a food processor. Pulse a few times until coarsely ground but not completely pureed.
2. Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground seafood mixture, panko breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
3. Shape the cakes: Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties (approximately 2.5 inches in diameter). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate the cakes for 10-15 minutes to help them firm up.
4. Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
5. Cook the cakes: Carefully place the seafood cakes in the skillet, being sure to leave space between each one. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
6. Serve: Remove the whitefish shrimp cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or a fresh green salad.
