Ingredients

• 300 grams Whitefish fillets (e.g., cod, haddock)
• 200 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 100 grams Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice, freshly squeezed
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

1. Prepare the seafood: Pat the whitefish fillets and shrimp dry with paper towels. Chop both into small chunks, then place them in a food processor. Pulse a few times until coarsely ground but not completely pureed.

Step 2

2. Combine ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground seafood mixture, panko breadcrumbs, egg, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, parsley, garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

Step 3

3. Shape the cakes: Using your hands, form the mixture into 8 evenly sized patties (approximately 2.5 inches in diameter). Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate the cakes for 10-15 minutes to help them firm up.

Step 4

4. Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Step 5

5. Cook the cakes: Carefully place the seafood cakes in the skillet, being sure to leave space between each one. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Step 6

6. Serve: Remove the whitefish shrimp cakes from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve hot with lemon wedges, tartar sauce, or a fresh green salad.
