STEPS
INGREDIENTS
Get a salted pot of water in the stove and bring to a boil
Use any bread you like, i had rolls leftover from another meal make sure you have enough for coating. These will be bread crumbs
Add them into a blender or food processor and pulse until crumbs!
Like so, put them in a bowl and set aside for now
Take your fish, you can use any kind, I found some mahi mahi on sale so that's what I used
If you have a blood line in your fish rice and ensure bones are removed. The blood line is super fishy and not pleasant to eat.
Dice up the fish and add into the food processor
Pulse until its small pieces, but don't go to long that it turns into a paste almost.
Picture of the cake ingredients for cakes. Salt, pepper mayo, sriracha (like putting it in where I can!) Dijon mustard
The lemon, I love using citrus, and the zest is so awesome to use. Use zest of this whole lemon, and half it's juice
Add it all to a bowl, see the supply list for quantity
Add the 2-3 tablespoons parsley
Then the half chopped onion
Like so
And then the egg
Mix it all up
Add about a third cup of the fresh breadcrumbs and mix
Oh I also added the 3 cloves of garlic. You can add them earlier, I almost forgot
Then add your fish and using a spatula fold the fish into the mix
I also added more breadcrumbs as I mixed until I got a consistency I liked, roughly 1 and 1/3 cups total
Form the patties!
Get some olive oil on a pan, nice and hot
Dip the cakes in the remaining breadcrumbs and coat each side. Set aside until oil is hot
While waiting I trimmed the asparagus and cut into thirds. Roughly bite size pieces, set them aside for now
Our water is boiling, add pasta. You can use any you like, I went for some whole wheat thin spaghetti
Bam cooking! HEY! That water better be salted as well!
Oil is hot, Add cakes, if you need work in batches. Cook about 4 minutes and flip
Bam! Another 4 minutes and add on a plate with a paper towel for any excess oil. Put in the oven or microwave to rest while we finish
While the cakes were Cooking I chopped my shallot
And got another pan with a bit of olive oil hot
Add shallot and one clove of garlic and cook 2-3 minutes
Add one tablespoon butter and melt
Add the tablespoon of flour and make the roux, let the flour cook 2 minutes or so
Bam looks kinda like that right?
Add the wine and chicken stock and juice from one lemon, let cook and reduce about 5 minutes
Get the rest of the veg ready, the 1/4 cup parsley
A handful of cherry tomatoes, halved and the asparagus
Our pasta finished, I drained it and put the pot I cooked it in back on the heat
Added the veg mix and the sauce cooked another 4 minutes
Add the second tablespoon of butter and mix
Add pasta back in and spices, also about 3-4 tablespoons olive oil And mix well
Plate and enjoy. Pasta and then a cake on top. Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice on top. Thanks for tuning in! Check my other guides and Facebook the love of culinary creations. Enjoy!
