Ingredients:
Instructions:
- If the fish fillets have skin, remove it. Check for and remove any bones.
- Use a food processor or a sharp knife to finely chop the fish.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the chopped fish, bread crumbs, scallions, and dill.
- In a separate small bowl, beat the egg lightly. Then, pour the beaten egg into the mixture.
- Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a bit more beaten egg or a small splash of water.
- With your hands, shape the mixture into patties, about the size of your palm. You should get around 6-8 fish cakes depending on the size you prefer.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the formed fish cakes into the skillet.
- Cook the fish cakes for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your fish cakes.
- Remove the fish cakes from the skillet and let them rest on a paper towel-lined plate to remove excess oil.
- Serve the fish cakes hot with a side of your favorite aioli for dipping.
Tips:
- For a firmer texture, refrigerate the fish mixture for about 30 minutes before forming into cakes.
- Make sure to finely chop the scallions and dill for a more even distribution of flavors.
- If you prefer a crispier crust, coat the fish cakes with extra bread crumbs before frying.
- Serve with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a well-rounded meal.
- If the mixture is too wet, add a bit more bread crumbs until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Use fresh fish for the best flavor, but frozen fish that's been properly thawed will work as well.
There you have it! A straightforward way to make delightful fish cakes with a savory aioli. Serve them as an appetizer, snack, or main course and watch them disappear quickly.
