Ingredients
- 450 grams Fresh fish fillets (cod, tilapia, or mahi-mahi)
- 1 cup Unsalted breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 stalk Green onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh lemon zest
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground mustard
- 1 large Egg
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Rinse the fish fillets under cold water and pat dry with paper towels. Chop the fish into small pieces or pulse in a food processor until finely chopped. Be careful not to over-process; the fish should have a coarse, flaky texture.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine the chopped fish, breadcrumbs, parsley, green onion, minced garlic, lemon zest, black pepper, paprika, and ground mustard.
Step 4
In a small bowl, beat the egg and then add it to the fish mixture along with the low-sodium chicken broth and lemon juice. Mix everything until well combined. If the mixture feels too dry, add a little more broth. If it feels too wet, add more breadcrumbs.
Step 5
Shape the mixture into patties about 3 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. This recipe should yield around 8 medium-sized patties.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, add the patties in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 7
Cook each patty for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Transfer the browned patties to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Once all the patties are browned, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes to ensure they are fully cooked inside.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.
Step 10
Serve the fish patties warm with a side of lemon wedges or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
