Ingredients

• 500 g white fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or haddock)
• 2 medium-sized potatoes
• 1 small onion
• 2 garlic cloves
• 2 tbsp parsley
• 1 large egg
• 120 g breadcrumbs
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp smoked paprika
• 100 ml vegetable oil (for frying)
• 120 ml mayonnaise
• 2 tbsp sriracha (or hot sauce)
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 stalk spring onion (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them in salted water until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain, mash, and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

While the potatoes are boiling, steam or poach the fish fillets until cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Let the fish cool, then flake it using a fork.

Step 3

Finely chop the onion, garlic, and parsley. Combine them with the mashed potatoes, flaked fish, egg, 60 g of breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika in a large mixing bowl. Mix well to form a cohesive mixture.

Step 4

Shape the fish mixture into patties, approximately 6-8 cm in diameter and 2 cm thick. You should yield 8-10 patties.

Step 5

Dredge each patty in the remaining breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick well.

Step 6

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the patties for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 7

For the spicy mayonnaise, whisk together mayonnaise, sriracha, and lemon juice in a small bowl. Adjust the spice level to your taste by adding more or less sriracha.

Step 8

Serve the fish patties warm, garnished with chopped spring onions if desired, alongside the spicy mayonnaise for dipping or drizzling.
