Ingredients
- 400 grams Skinless white fish fillets
- 2 large Egg whites
- 1 cup Whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 pieces Green onions, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with olive oil spray.
Step 2
In a food processor, pulse the fish fillets until roughly chopped. Do not over-process, as you want small chunks, not a paste.
Step 3
Transfer the chopped fish to a large bowl. Add in the egg whites, green onions, parsley, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and Dijon mustard. Mix well to combine all ingredients.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Shape each portion into a patty, about 2.5 cm (1 inch) thick.
Step 5
Place the breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Lightly coat each fish cake in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 6
Arrange the fish cakes on the prepared baking sheet. Spray the tops lightly with olive oil spray to help them crisp up.
Step 7
Bake the fish cakes in the preheated oven for approximately 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway through the cooking time.
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with a side of salad or steamed vegetables and enjoy your low-fat crispy fried fish cakes.
