Yield Makes 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

5 slices firm white sandwich bread
1 large celery rib, cut into 2-inch pieces
2 scallions, cut into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh flat-leaf parsley
1 lb skinless cod fillet, any bones removed and fish coarsely chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
Accompaniment: tartar sauce and lemon wedges

Steps:

Pulse celery and scallions in processor until coarsely chopped, then add parsley and pulse until finely chopped. Combine celery mixture with scant cup crumbs in bowl (for fish cakes).

  • Season bread crumbs in shallow bowl with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Gently shape fish mixture into 4 (4-inch) patties (mixture will be soft) and coat well with seasoned bread crumbs. Chill, uncovered, on a wax-paper-lined large plate 10 minutes.
  • Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil in a 12-inch nonstick skillet over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then fry 2 fish cakes, turning over once, until golden brown and cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes total. Repeat with remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil and 2 fish cakes, wiping out skillet with a paper towel between batches.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cod. Fresh cod has a mild, sweet flavor and flaky texture that is perfect for fish cakes.
  • Don't overmix the fish mixture. Overmixing will make the fish cakes tough.
  • Use breadcrumbs to help bind the fish mixture together. Breadcrumbs will also help to absorb excess moisture and prevent the fish cakes from falling apart.
  • Season the fish mixture well. Use a variety of herbs and spices to flavor the fish cakes. Some good options include salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and dill.
  • Form the fish cakes into patties. Use a spoon or your hands to form the fish mixture into small patties. Make sure the patties are not too thick or they will not cook evenly.
  • Pan-fry the fish cakes. Heat a little oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the fish cakes and cook them for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.
  • Serve the fish cakes hot. Fish cakes are best served hot with a variety of dipping sauces. Some good options include tartar sauce, remoulade, or lemon-butter sauce.

Cod cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you prefer them pan-fried, baked, or grilled, cod cakes are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
