Instructions:
-
Thaw and Prepare Fish:
- If your fish is frozen, ensure it’s completely thawed. Rinse the fish thoroughly, then pat it dry with paper towels. Cut the fish into pieces approximately 1/2 inch in size. Set aside for later use.
-
Prepare the Fish Cake Mixture:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the eggs, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, light mayonnaise (or dressing), Dijon-style mustard, chopped fresh parsley, lime zest, and salt. Mix these ingredients together until they are well combined.
-
Incorporate the Fish:
- Add the prepared fish pieces to the mixture in the bowl. Carefully fold them in until the fish is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
-
Shape the Patties:
- With your hands, shape the mixture into patties approximately 1/2 inch thick. Ensure they are firmly packed to prevent them from falling apart during cooking.
-
Coat with Cornmeal:
- Spread the cornmeal on a plate or shallow dish. Take each fish patty and coat both sides generously with the cornmeal, ensuring an even coating.
-
Cook the Fish Cakes:
- In a large nonstick frypan or on a nonstick griddle, heat oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add half of the fish cakes to the pan. Cook them for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and the fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Gently turn them once during cooking to ensure even browning.
- Once cooked, remove the fish cakes from the frypan and set them aside. Repeat this process with the remaining fish cakes.
-
Serve and Garnish:
- Serve the cooked fish cakes hot, accompanied by Green Goddess Sauce for dipping. For an extra touch of freshness and flavor, garnish with freshly chopped chives before serving.
