One of my favorites recipes to make with leftover grilled salmon or fresh cooked cod. I was at the store the other day and they had a sale on some nice looking cod. Granted it wasn't the fresh cod that I get from my fish monger but, works wonderfully in this fish cake recipe. If you like fish sandwiches, I suggest you try this as well. The type and amount of mashed potatoes used is up to you. Pick a fish, pick your potatoes and pick a sauce - make some - you won't be sorry! ~Enjoy! Diane
Homemade Fish Cakes {or Fish Sandwich} *can be made with cooked/flaked salmon or cod Ingredients & Directions: Combine about 12 oz of cooked flaked fish (I used cod this time but, just as great with salmon) and 3 medium potatoes (I used Yukon golds) that have been cooked and mashed in a large bowl with: 6 scallions, finely chopped 1/2 cup fresh dill, finely chopped 1 Tbs cornstarch 1 heaped Tbs capers, chopped, *optional Grated zest of 1 lemon 1 Tbs lemon juice *more if preferred 2 egg, lightly beaten Salt and freshly ground black pepper Pour about 3 Tbs of plain flour onto a plate. Drop about 1/4 cup of the fishcake batter into the flour and press it lightly to form a round pattie. Use two tablespoons (of floured hands) to flip and dust it until lightly coated on both sides, I keep my patties about 3/4" in thickness. Shake of excess flour and place fishcake onto a wax paper lined tray/plate. Repeat until all mix is used up. NOTE**At this point, the fishcakes can be frozen for future use if desired. or chill for at least one hour in refrigerator before cooking. To cook, heat about 2 Tbs canola oil in a large heavy non-stick frying pan and fry several fish cakes at a time over medium heat, about 5 mins on each side flipping midway until golden brown. If cooking from frozen, don't bother defrosting, just fry straight from the freezer for about 10 mins each side. I let my hot fishcakes set on paper towel to drain off some of the oil before plating and serving. Serve with a lemon wedge, extra dill and tartar sauce or salsa. Another option is to make yourself a Filet-O-Fish Sandwich by placing onto a warmed bun with your favorite sauce (SO MUCH BETTER - HOMEMADE!) ~Enjoy! Diane
