Ingredients
- 500 grams Cod fillets
- 300 grams Potatoes
- 100 grams Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and dice the potatoes. Boil them in a pot of salted water for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside to cool.
Step 2
While the potatoes are boiling, place the cod fillets in a shallow pan, just covered with water. Bring to a gentle simmer and poach the fish for about 5-7 minutes or until just cooked through. Remove from water, flake, and set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooled potatoes with a fork. Add the flaked cod, gluten-free breadcrumbs, beaten egg, chopped parsley, green onions, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Step 4
Shape the mixture into 8 even-sized patties, about 1 cm thick. If the mixture is too sticky, you can wet your hands slightly with water to make shaping easier.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Carefully add the fish patties in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Cook each side for about 4-5 minutes or until golden brown and heated through.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked fish cakes to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm with a wedge of lemon or your favorite dipping sauce.
