FISH CAKES WITH CAPER-PARSLEY SAUCE
"I grew up in the middle of Croatia, near Zagreb, where the cuisine is very heavy - lots of meat and potatoes," writes Snjezana Hercigonja of Raleigh, North Carolina. "But when I was young, it was customary to vacation on the Mediterranean coast in the summer, where you go to the market every day to see what's good, and everything is really fresh and light. Even the fat is good, since it's usually olive oil. This recipe is based on dishes from that region." Make these instead of crab cakes for a starter or light lunch - they're fantastic.

- Choose the right type of fish: Some of the best fish for fish cakes include cod, haddock, salmon, and tilapia. These fish are all relatively mild in flavor and have a firm texture that holds together well.
- Season the fish cakes well: Fish cakes should be well-seasoned with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices. This will help to enhance the flavor of the fish and make the cakes more enjoyable.
- Use a light touch when mixing the fish cakes: Overmixing the fish cakes can make them tough. Be gentle when combining the ingredients and avoid overworking the mixture.
- Cook the fish cakes over medium heat: Cooking the fish cakes over medium heat will help to prevent them from burning. Be patient and cook the cakes until they are golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve the fish cakes with your favorite dipping sauce: Fish cakes can be served with a variety of dipping sauces, such as tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade. You can also serve them with a simple lemon wedge.
