Time 25m

Yield 4-6 cakes

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb salt cod fish or 1 lb fresh cod, cooked and flaked
1 1/2 lbs yukon gold potatoes or 1 1/2 lbs russet potatoes
1/3-1/2 cup chopped onions or 1/3-1/2 cup scallion
1 1/2 teaspoons dry mustard
3 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons soft butter, plus extra for frying
fresh ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne (optional)
chopped herbs (such as parsley or dill) (optional)

Steps:

  • If using salt cod: Soak salt cod in a large volume of water in the refrigerator for 12 - 24 hours. Change water several times. Place fillet into a 3 -4 quart sauce pan with a large volume of water, bring to a boil and turn heat down so that liquid is simmering. Cook for 10 minutes, remove from heat and leave in water for 10 - 15 minutes. Rinse under cold water and break into flakes.
  • Boil potatoes in salted water until done, drain and return to pan over moderate heat for 2-3 minutes to evaporate excess moisture. Mash as for mashed potatoes and keep warm. Saute onions or scallions in a small amount of butter until soft.
  • Mix fish, potatoes, butter and onions to- gether using a fork, then mix in eggs, mus- tard, pepper and herbs, if using.
  • Form the mixture into cakes and refrigerate for up to 6 hours if not cooking immediately.
  • Heat enough butter to coat a frying pan, preferably non stick, and cook over medium heat until each side is well browned and the cakes are heated through.
  • Serve immediately with slices of lemon, tarter sauce or mayonnaise mixed with lemon juice and capers. Smaller cakes can be served as a first course, while larger cakes, served with salad and bread, make a great lunch or light dinner.

These cod cakes were a bit too fishy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. My husband loved them, so I'll probably make them again for him.

These cod cakes were okay. They were a bit too oily for my taste, but the flavor was good. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was disappointed with these cod cakes. They were too fishy for my taste and the texture was mushy. I won't be making these again.

These cod cakes were good, but not great. I found them to be a bit bland and dry. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was a bit skeptical about trying these cod cakes, but I'm so glad I did! They were so flavorful and moist. I served them with roasted potatoes and a side of coleslaw, and it was a delicious meal.

These cod cakes were easy to make and turned out great! I used panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs and they gave the cakes a nice crispy texture. I also added a bit of chopped fresh parsley and chives to the mixture for extra flavor.

I'm not usually a fan of cod, but these cakes were amazing! The bread crumbs and seasonings really brought out the flavor of the fish. I served them with lemon wedges and tartar sauce, and they were perfect.

These cod cakes were absolutely delicious! The flavors were perfectly balanced and the texture was crispy on the outside and flaky on the inside. I'll definitely be making these again.
