Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Chop the white fish into small pieces and place it in a large mixing bowl.
- Finely chop the coriander leaves.
- Thinly slice the shallots.
- Cut the green beans into small, bite-sized pieces.
- In the large mixing bowl containing the fish, add the chopped coriander leaves, corn flour, fish sauce, and egg.
- Mix everything together until well combined.
- Add the sliced shallots and green beans to the mixture and mix again until evenly distributed.
- Take a small handful of the mixture and form it into a patty, around 2-3 inches in diameter and about 1/2 inch thick.
- Place the formed patties on a plate. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
- Heat 1/3 cup of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat.
- Once the oil is hot, carefully add the fish cakes to the pan, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook each fish cake for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer the cooked fish cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In a large bowl, combine the mixed greens and peanuts.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tbsp of olive oil and 1 tsp of lime juice.
- Pour the dressing over the mixed greens and peanuts, and toss to coat evenly.
- Arrange the mixed greens salad on serving plates.
- Place the fish cakes alongside the salad.
- Garnish with any extra coriander leaves, lime wedges, or additional peanuts if desired.
Tips:
- Choose a firm white fish like cod or haddock for the best texture.
- Make sure to finely chop the shallots and green beans for even distribution in the fish cakes.
- If you have time, let the fish mixture chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to help it hold together better when frying.
- Use a non-stick pan to fry the fish cakes to prevent sticking and ensure a crispy exterior.
- Serve the fish cakes with a sweet chili sauce or a tangy lime dipping sauce for an extra burst of flavor.
