RED SNAPPER YUCA CAKES WITH MOJO DE AJO
Steps:
- Make cakes:
- Simmer yuca in boiling salted water until fork-tender, 30 to 35 minutes. Drain yuca and transfer to a large bowl, then cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- While yuca is cooling, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté onion with cumin and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne, stirring occasionally, until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Sprinkle salt and remaining 1/4 teaspoon cayenne over fish and add to onion in skillet, then sauté, turning fish over once, until just cooked through, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer fish with onion to a plate and cool to room temperature.
- Remove thin, fibrous core from yuca if necessary, then coarsely mash yuca with a wooden spoon. Flake fish and add to yuca along with onion and herbs, tossing to combine (mixture will be coarse). Form into 12 (2 1/2-inch) cakes (1 inch thick) and transfer to a wax-paper-lined tray. Cover cakes with plastic wrap and chill 30 minutes.
- Make mojo while cakes chill:
- Cook garlic in oil in a small skillet over low heat, stirring, until just softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer garlic with oil to a small bowl and stir in remaining mojo ingredients. Chill mojo, covered, until serving.
- Sauté cakes:
- Heat 1 1/2 tablespoons oil over moderately high heat in a 12-inch heavy skillet (preferably nonstick) until hot but not smoking, then sauté half of cakes, turning over once, until browned and heated through, about 8 minutes total. Sauté remaining cakes in remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons oil. Serve with mojo and lime wedges.

SNAPPER CAKES
Saw this recipe on a television show being made and just had to try these. They have egg or breadcrumbs, they are all snapper and vegetables. They hold together quite well and a very tasty. The original recipe calls for pan frying but I lightly oiled an oven tray and used in the oven. I think the B.B.Q. would be great! They could also be made smaller and would make great appetizers.

Tips:
- Choose the freshest snapper possible. Fresh snapper has a mild, sweet flavor and firm texture. Avoid fish that has a strong fishy smell or that is soft to the touch.
- Use a food processor to chop the snapper. This will ensure that the fish is evenly chopped and will help to prevent the cakes from becoming too dry.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the cakes tough.
- Let the cakes rest for a few minutes before cooking. This will help them to hold their shape.
- Serve the cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include tartar sauce, remoulade, and cocktail sauce.
