Ingredients

• 500 grams Fresh white fish fillets (such as cod or haddock), skinless
• 50 grams Almond flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 pieces Scallions, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).

Step 2

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and gently add the fish fillets. Poach the fish for about 5 minutes or until cooked through and flaky. Remove the fish and drain well, then set aside to cool slightly.

Step 3

In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, eggs, chopped scallions, parsley, lemon zest, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Once the fish is cool enough to handle, break it into flakes using your hands or a fork.

Step 5

Add the flaked fish to the almond flour mixture, and use your hands to combine everything until well mixed.

Step 6

Shape the mixture into small patties, about 8 in total for even sizes.

Step 7

In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil.

Step 8

Add the fish patties to the skillet, and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

Step 9

Transfer the patties to an oven-safe dish and place in the preheated oven for an additional 5 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.

Step 10

In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise and Dijon mustard to create a simple tartar sauce.

Step 11

Serve the fish cakes hot, with a dollop of the homemade tartar sauce on the side.
