Spicy Tilapia and Feta Cakes image

Wholesome fish dishes do not have to be boring. I love crab cakes...I have made tuna cakes...so why not tilapia cakes? Add some feta and hot sauce and really make it an interesting fish dish. Serve with a dill sauce or simple sour cream.

These cakes were a bit dry for my taste. I think they would have been better if I had used a more moist fish, like salmon or cod.

These cakes were easy to make and very flavorful. I used a mild salsa instead of the spicy sauce, and they were still delicious. I served them with a side of rice and beans, and they were a hit with my family.

These cakes were a bit too spicy for me, but my husband loved them. He said they were the perfect balance of heat and flavor. I would make them again, but I would use less cayenne pepper next time.
