Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

12 ounces skinless white fish fillets (such as haddock or cod)
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup fine dry breadcrumb
2 tablespoons onions, finely chopped
4 teaspoons light mayonnaise or 4 teaspoons salad dressing
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, snipped
1 teaspoon lime peel, finely shredded
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons cornmeal
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt (optional)
1/2 cup light sour cream (optional)
3 tablespoons fresh tarragon, snipped (optional)
2 tablespoons fresh chives, snipped (optional)
2 teaspoons lime juice (optional)
1 garlic clove, minced (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut fish into 1/2-inch pieces. Set aside.
  • In a medium mixing bowl combine egg, bread crumbs, onion, mayonnaise, mustard, parsley, lime peel, and salt. Add fish; mix well. Form mixture into twelve 1/2-inch-thick patties, about 2 1/2 inches in diameter.
  • Coat patties with cornmeal. In a large nonstick skillet or on griddle, heat oil. Add half of the fish cakes. Cook over medium heat for 2 to 3 minutes per side or until fish just flakes when tested with a fork and patties are gold. Repeat with the remaining cakes.
  • For sauce: Combine yogurt, half of the sour cream and the tarragon in blender and process until smooth. Stir in remaining ingredients. For each serving, place three fish cakes on a plate along with 2 tablespoons Green Goddess Sauce. Use remaining sauce as a salad dressing.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my fish cakes fell apart when I tried to flip them. I'm not sure what went wrong.

The fish cakes were a bit dry, but the green goddess sauce helped to balance it out. Overall, it was a good recipe, but I would probably add some more moisture to the fish cakes next time.

These fish cakes were a hit with my family! They were easy to make and had a delicious flavor. The green goddess sauce was the perfect complement, adding a creamy and tangy touch. I would definitely make these again.
