Ingredients

• 400 g White fish fillets (e.g. cod or haddock), skinless and boneless
• 300 g Potatoes, peeled and diced
• 1 large Egg
• 50 g Panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tsp Lemon zest
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper, freshly ground
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray
• 120 g Greek yogurt (plain, non-fat)
• 0.5 medium Avocado, ripe and mashed
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tbsp Fresh chives, chopped
• 4 leaves Fresh basil leaves
• 2 tbsp Lemon juice
• 1 small Garlic clove, minced
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 1 tbsp Water

Directions

Step 1

Boil the diced potatoes in a medium pot of salted water until tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Step 2

While the potatoes are boiling, steam the fish fillets until they are fully cooked and easily flake with a fork, approximately 8-10 minutes. Let the fish cool, then flake into small pieces using your fingers or a fork.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, flaked fish, egg, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix gently until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 4

Form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties. Place them on a tray and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes to help them firm up.

Step 5

While the fish cakes are chilling, make the green goddess sauce. In a blender or food processor, combine the Greek yogurt, mashed avocado, parsley, chives, basil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust seasoning if needed and set aside in the refrigerator.

Step 6

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly spray with olive oil. Cook the fish cakes in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.

Step 7

Serve the fish cakes warm with the green goddess sauce on the side or drizzled on top. Enjoy!
