When my husband and I went on a mini 4 day get away to the ocean  we found an awesome local sea food restaurant. We ordered some crab cakes, which we loved! As we were eating the crab cakes we were trying to identify the ingredients that were in the crab cakes. I think we were able to figure out most of the ingredients, or add our own. Then we thought, what if we replace the crab meat with white fish fillet and that is exactly what I did upon our return! My husband had a surprise lunch at work and he gobbled up all of these fish cakes in no time. He even said that he likes these better than the crab cakes (but that comment might have been a little biased…after all he is my husband lol). So, try out this recipe for yourself!

Ingredients

For the Fish Cakes:

1 lb of white fish fillet (use any fish)

2 boiled potatoes

1 1/2 white onion

1/2 grated Parmesan cheese

5 cloves of garlic

2 raw eggs

3/4 cup of fresh dill

Plain Bread Crumbs (~3/4cup )

Salt and Pepper

For the sauce:

3 cloves of garlic

5 tbsp of mayo

1 tbsp of Dijon mustard

2-3 tbsp of ketchup

Defrost and then rinse the white fish fillets. Boil or bake two baking potatoes. Chop an onion into quarters. Peel the Garlic. Wash and chop the fresh dill.

Send the white fish fillets, boiled potatoes, onion and garlic through the meat grinder.

Combine all of the ingredients including the eggs in a bowl.

Mix and add more bread crumbs if the mixture is too wet.

Form small round cakes. In a non stick frying pan, fry on both sides on medium low until fully cooked.

For the sauce: combine minced garlic, ketchup, mayo, and mustard. Mix all ingredients.

The sauce will look something like this.

Serve the sauce with the fish cakes, enjoy!
