1/2 white onion
1/2 zucchini
1/2 red pepper
1 cup wheat germ or bread crumbs
S&P
2 tsp Itialian seasonings
2 eggs
2tbsp mayo
Boil fish until cooked, drain, pat dry and let cool.
Finley dice zucchini, peppers and onion. Add veggies to a pan with olive oil and sautee until soft
In a bowl, use a fork to shred cooled fish. Then add your seasoning, eggs, wheat germ, and sautéed veggies. Mix well
Creat your pattys and place on parchment paper. Heat a pan to medium heat and carefully place fish cake in pan with olive oil. They will be a little wet at this point so be careful to keep them intact.
Cook for 5-7 min or until browned on one side and then flip and repeat.
Throw them on a roll with some squeezed lemon, LTO and mayonnaise and they’re perfect 🤩
I use sheepshead bc their main diet is crab so they have a shellfish taste to the meat. And it’s what my husband stocks the freezer with 😊 Flounder would also be a great option!
Fish cakes are a delightful dish that combines the freshness of fish with a mix of vegetables and spices. They're not only delicious but also a healthy option for any meal. To enhance their flavor, consider using different types of fish like flounder or cod, which can add unique textures and tastes. Additionally, pairing the fish cakes with homemade tartar sauce or a spicy remoulade can elevate the dish further. If you're looking for a side dish to accompany your fish cakes, a simple green salad or roasted vegetables would complement them beautifully. For those who prefer a classic approach, serve the fish cakes with chips or a side of coleslaw. Fish cakes are versatile and can easily be adapted to suit different tastes and preferences. Experimenting with the seasoning can also introduce exciting new flavors. Try adding a dash of cayenne pepper for some heat or herbs like dill or parsley for freshness. Leftover fish cakes can easily be reheated, making them a convenient option for meal prep throughout the week. No matter how you choose to enjoy them, these fish cakes are sure to impress family and friends alike.
