Ingredients:

1 lb white fish
450g
1/2 cup coriander leaves
8g
1/3 cup corn flour
50g
2 tbsp fish sauce
30g
1 egg
50g
3 shallots
150g
1/3 cup green beans
72g
1/3 cup olive oil
80g
1 cup mixed greens (or salad mix)
70g
2 tbsp peanuts
30g
2 tbsp olive oil
27g
1 tsp lime juice
5g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- 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.
2. Make the Fish Cake Mixture:
- 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.
3. Shape the Fish Cakes:
- 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.
4. Cook the Fish Cakes:
- 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.
5. Prepare the Mixed Greens Salad:
- 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.
6. Serve:
- 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.

With this Thai-style fish cakes recipe, you can easily bring a taste of Thailand to your table. Simple to prepare yet bursting with flavor, these fish cakes are sure to become a favorite in your household. Enjoy them as an appetizer, a main course, or even as delightful finger food for parties.
