COD & CAPER CROQUETTES

Steps:

• Put the fsh fillets in a large skillet. Pour in the milk and season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat, cover the skillet, and let simmer genty for 8-10 minutes, or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork. Using a spatula, remove the fish fillets from the skillet. Pour in the milk into a pitcher and set aside for later. Flake the fish, discarding skin and bones. Heat the olive oil in a pan. Stir in the flour to form a paste and cook gently, stirring for 1 minute. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually stir in the reserved milk until smooth. Return to the heat and slowly bring to a boil, stirring all the time, until the mixture thickens. Remove the pan from the heat, add the flaked fish, and beat until the mixture is smooth. Add the capers, paprika, garlic, lemon juice, and parsley and mix well together. Season the mixture to taste with salt and pepper. Spread the fish mixture in a dish and let stand until cool, then cover and put in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours or overnight. When the fish mixture has chilled, pour the beaten egg on a plate. Put the bread crumbs and sesame seeds on a separate plate, mix together and spread out. Divide the fish mixture into 12 equal-sized portions. Then form each portion into a sausage shape, measuring about 3 inches in length. Dip the croquettes, on at a time, in the beaten egg, roll in the bread crumb mixture to coat, and place on a plate and let chill for about 1 hour. To cook the croquettes, head the oil in a pan and add the croquettes in batches, and deep-fry for 3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Garnish with lemon wedges and horseradish for dipping.
