Ingredients

• 500 grams White fish fillets
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 Small onion, finely chopped
• 2 Garlic cloves, minced
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cumin
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 Egg
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by placing the fish fillets in a food processor and process until finely chopped. Be careful not to over-process as you want the mixture to still have some texture.

Step 2

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for another minute, stirring continuously to prevent burning.

Step 4

Transfer the sautéed onion and garlic mixture to a large mixing bowl. Add the chopped fish, fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, cumin, and paprika. Mix all ingredients together until well combined.

Step 5

Lightly beat the egg in a separate bowl and add it to the fish mixture. Stir well to bind the ingredients together.

Step 6

Spread the panko breadcrumbs on a plate. Shape the fish mixture into 8 equal-sized patties (about 2 inches in diameter each). Carefully coat each patty in the panko breadcrumbs, ensuring they are evenly covered on all sides.

Step 7

In a large frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, gently place the fish patties in the pan, being careful not to overcrowd them.

Step 8

Fry the patties for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the patties from the pan and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the dairy-free crispy fish patties hot with a side of salad or your favorite dipping sauce.
