Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Seafood Recipes

Yield Makes 6 small cakes

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium russet potato, (about 8 ounces)
1 cup milk
2 sprigs thyme
3/4 pound skinless and boneless cod fillets, cut into pieces
3 medium peaches, peeled and pitted (about 3/4 pound)
1/4 cup water, plus more for potatoes
1 tablespoon olive oil

Steps:

  • Peel and cut potato into 1-inch dice. Place in a small saucepan; add enough cold water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil; reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until potato is tender when pierced with a sharp knife, about 12 minutes. Drain; while potato is still hot, pass it through a ricer or food mill into a large bowl. Set aside.
  • Combine milk and thyme in a small saucepan, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add fish fillets; cover pan, and reduce heat to low. Cook until fish is opaque and cooked through, about 12 minutes. Drain fish in a colander, reserving cooking liquid. Discard thyme.
  • Add fish to potatoes, and mash with a fork until fish is broken up into very small pieces and mixture is well combined. If mixture is too dry, add some of the reserved cooking liquid a tablespoon at a time. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Thinly slice one of the peaches into 18 slices, and set aside. Chop remaining peaches into 1/4-inch pieces. Place chopped peaches in a small saute pan, and add 1/4 cup water; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover, and simmer until peaches are soft, 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool slightly. Transfer to a blender or food processor, and puree until mixture is smooth.
  • On a clean work surface, divide fish mixture into six parts. Shape each part into a 1-inch-thick fish shape using your hands. Heat the oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Working in batches so as not to overcrowd the pan, add fish cakes, and saute until they are golden on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Using a slotted spatula, transfer to a large plate. Repeat with remaining fish cakes.
  • To serve, pour 1/4 cup peach puree on each plate, and use reserved peach slices (3 per plate) to make waves. Place a fish cake on each plate, and serve.

ASIAN FISH CAKES WITH SWEET CHILE DIPPING SAUCE



Asian Fish Cakes With Sweet Chile Dipping Sauce image

From Susie's Supper Club. Her Notes are: These toothsome but light, zesty cakes are a great way to get everyone to like fish. You can vary the ingredient amounts in the sauce to your taste; try adjusting the garlic or ginger to bring out different flavors. Susie's Tip: These cakes freeze beautifully for up to 2 months, so make a bunch ahead of time and have them on hand for a play date that goes into dinnertime.

Time 20m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

2 lbs cod fish fillets, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large eggs
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs, plus 1 cup for dredging
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
4 green onions, white and tender green parts only, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons peeled and grated fresh ginger
1 tablespoon lime zest
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon fish sauce
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
canola oil (for frying)
1 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons thai sweet chili sauce
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons peeled and grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Make the Dipping Sauce: In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients and stir to mix well. Taste and adjust the seasoning. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Make the Fish Cakes: Put the fish in a food processor and pulse just until uniformly minced, about 10 times. Be careful not to overprocess or the fish will turn into a paste. Transfer to a large bowl and add the eggs, the 1/2 cup bread crumbs, the cilantro, green onions, ginger, lime zest, garlic, fish sauce, salt, and pepper. Using your hands or a rubber spatula, gently fold and toss the ingredients together until well combined.
  • In a nonstick frying pan, heat a splash of oil over medium-high heat. Pinch off a small piece of the fish mixture and fry until cooked through, about 1 minute. Taste and adjust the seasoning of the remaining fish mixture if needed.
  • Place the 1 cup bread crumbs in a shallow dish. Shape the fish mixture into cakes about 2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick. Coat each cake thoroughly with the bread crumbs, shaking off the excess.
  • Line a rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. Pour oil to a depth of 1/2 inch into the frying pan and heat until hot and shimmering but not smoking. Working in batches as needed to avoid crowding, add the cakes, placing them about 1 inch apart, and fry, turning once, until golden brown and crispy, 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer to the paper towels to drain and season with salt while still warm.
  • Transfer the cakes to a platter or individual plates and serve. Pass the dipping sauce at the table.
