Ingredients
- 500 grams White fish fillets (cod, haddock, or tilapia)
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 30 grams Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 stalks Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.75 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Begin by poaching the fish fillets: Fill a large pan with water and bring to a simmer. Add the fish fillets and cook for about 8-10 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Step 3
Remove the fish from the water and let it cool slightly, then flake it into a large mixing bowl.
Step 4
Add the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, eggs, chopped green onions, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the flaked fish.
Step 5
Gently mix the ingredients until well-combined, making sure not to break the fish into tiny pieces; you want some chunks for texture.
Step 6
Form the mixture into 8 patties, about 1 cm thick each.
Step 7
Heat olive oil and butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Step 8
Fry the patties in batches, cooking them for 3-4 minutes on each side or until they are golden-brown and crispy. Use a spatula to flip them carefully to avoid breaking.
Step 9
Place the cooked fish cakes onto the prepared baking sheet and finish them in the preheated oven for about 5 minutes to ensure they are heated through.
Step 10
Serve warm with a lemon wedge or a side of keto-friendly sauce.
