Time 1h10m

Yield makes 14 cakes; serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided
1 1/2 cups (1/4- to 1/2-inch-diced) yellow onion
1 cup (1/4- to 1/2-inch-diced) celery
1 large Holland red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and 1/4- to 1/2-inch-diced
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless cod fillets, cut into 4 pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups panko (Japanese bread flakes), divided
3 tablespoons minced fresh dill
2 tablespoons good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 pound cooked lobster meat, 1/2-inch-diced
Good olive oil
Rémoulade Sauce (recipe follows)
1 1/2 cups good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
6 tablespoons minced cornichons
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons Champagne or white wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Place the fish on top of the vegetables and add the cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 6 to 12 minutes (depending on the thickness of the cod), until the fish is just cooked. Set aside in the pan for 10 minutes, then flake the fish in large pieces with a fork.
  • Put 2 cups of the panko in a large bowl. Add the cod mixture, including the cooking liquid, the dill, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon zest, eggs, lobster, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper and mix gently.
  • Using a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop as a measure, shape the mixture into 14 (3-inch) fish cakes. Place the remaining 2 cups of panko on a plate and coat the cakes all over, patting the coating to adhere. Wipe the sauté pan clean with a paper towel and heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan over medium heat. Place 5 cakes in the pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned on both sides. Transfer the cakes to a sheet pan and keep them warm in the oven for up to 15 minutes. Repeat, adding more butter and oil, until the entire mixture is cooked. Serve hot with the Rémoulade Sauce.
  • Place the mayonnaise, cornichons, mustard, vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse a few times until the cornichons are finely chopped (not pureed). Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate.

Nova Scotia Fish Cakes image

Flaky white fish and potatoes come together with a crisp bread-crumb coating in this recipe, adapted from Judith Sanders and brought to The Times by Joan Nathan after a 2012 trip to Nova Scotia. You'll want to serve these warm, with tartar sauce, chutney, chowchow - or a tart splash of lemon.

Provided by Joan Nathan

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 1h

Yield 6 to 8 main-course servings (about 30 patties)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 pound haddock, cod, halibut or any other flaky white fish
1 cup milk
1 pound (about 2 medium) russet potatoes, peeled
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons butter
4 scallions, thinly sliced
3 large eggs
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons chopped parsley
2 cups bread crumbs for dredging
Corn oil, for frying
Tartar sauce, chutney or chowchow, for serving
Juice of 1 lemon, as needed, optional

Steps:

  • Put the fish and milk in a medium saucepan. Refrigerate at least an hour.
  • Peel the potatoes and put in a saucepan with water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer for 20 to 30 minutes, until the potatoes are soft. Drain thoroughly, mash and season well with salt and pepper.
  • In a small skillet, melt butter, add scallions and cook until soft, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Remove the fish from the refrigerator and place over medium-low heat. Bring the milk to a simmer and cook the fish until flaky, 5 to 7 minutes; do not overcook. Remove from heat, drain off the milk and allow to cool. Using a fork, break the fish into large flakes.
  • Lightly beat one of the eggs and stir into the cooled potato mixture with the scallions and Worcestershire sauce. Add the flaked fish and 1 tablespoon of the parsley and gently fold into the mixture. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes.
  • Taste for seasoning and adjust if needed. Form patties about 3 1/2 inches in diameter and 1 inch thick for entree portions, or 2 inches in diameter for appetizer portions.
  • Beat the remaining 2 eggs in a small bowl and put the bread crumbs in another. Dip the patties first in the beaten egg and then the bread crumbs. Heat about 1/8 of an inch of oil in a frying pan, adding more as needed. Fry the patties for just a few minutes on each side until golden. Drain on paper towels and sprinkle with the remaining parsley. Serve warm with lemon, tartar sauce, chutney or chowchow.
