1 lb cod, haddock or any mild white fish local to your area
3-4 russet potatoes medium size
1 c bread crumbs, dry - plus more for coating fish cakes
1/4 c flat leaf parsley ( italian type...not curley) chopped
2 1/2 Tbsp shredded or grated parmesan cheese
2 garlic cloves- minced
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp old bay seasoning
2 spashes of lemon juice
BAKED BEAN RECIPE
2- 28 oz can(s) b&m beans ( not bbq flavored...any others are fine
1/2 onion- chopped ( half of the whole onion)
1/2 c ketchup
4 Tbsp spicy brown mustard
4 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp molasses
TAR-TAR SAUCE FOR FISH CAKES
1 c hellmans mayonnaise
4 Tbsp dill relish
2 Tbsp champagne vinegar or white wine vinegar
2 tsp coarse grain mustard ( the one that looks like 99% seeds)
splash of lemon juice
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 425 degrees... For the Fish Cakes: Place fish in 9x13 glass pan, sprinkle with salt and pepper and a few small splashes of lemon juice. Cover tightly with foil and bake for 25 minutes at 425 degrees. Remove from oven and set aside to cool, leaving the foil in place covering the fish as it cools.
  • 2. While fish is baking, peel, chop and boil the potatoes...drain water, return potatoes back to the same pot and let the heat left over from stove burner "dry" the potatoes a bit, giving the pan a few shakes while "drying".
  • 3. Add all the fish to the potatoes...(do not add the liquid from the bottom of fish pan) Mash the fish and potatoes lightly together with potato masher... but mix well.
  • 4. Add the rest of the ingredients to the mash and mix well using your hands. The mix will be somewhat sticky. Form the mixture into hamburger size patties, about a 1/2 an inch thick ( you should get in the vicinity of 12 patties depending on your size) Once your patty is formed, coat the front, back and all around the sides of the cake with additional bread crumbs, then set prepared fish cakes on cookie sheets sprayed with Pam if baking.
  • 5. You can either fry the patties, a few at a time in canola oil in a cast iron fry pan until golden brown...or you can bake them in the oven at 350 degrees in with the beans... (Fish cakes and Beans will take aprox 1 hour to bake in oven together)
  • 6. Preheat oven to 350 degrees... For the Beans: In a casserole sprayed with Pam, mix all the bean ingredients together...do not cover...place in 350 degree oven with fish cakes and bake for 1 hour flipping fish cakes after a half an hour. Give the beans a few turns with a spoon when you flip the fish. Bake for an additional 30 min to make a total of 60 minutes of baking.
  • 7. For the Tar-Tar Sauce: Mix all the ingredients well and chill for 2 hours...let sit at room temp 1/2 hour before serving
  • 8. I hope you all enjoy my "taste of New England" !!

COD FISH CAKES



Cod Fish Cakes image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h24m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 pound salt cod
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 bay leaf
4 peppercorns
2 cups water
2 to 3 cups boiled potatoes
Seasonings (possible suggestions: onion, parsley, black pepper, or other)
2 eggs
Salt
Butter or bacon drippings
2 cups cornmeal

Steps:

  • Soak the salt cod in cold water. Salt cod needs a long soaking to remove the preserving salt, so start at least 1 day in advance. First, wash off excess salt under cold, running water. Place fish in a bowl, or crock, of cold water and refrigerate, changing the water several times. Soak until the fish feels soft and almost fresh, this will take a good 24 hours.
  • Poach the salt cod. In a 2-quart pan, add onion, bay leaf, peppercorns, and water and bring to a simmer. After 5 minutes, add the drained soaked codfish and enough water to cover the fish. Bring to a simmer. When it comes to a simmer, cover immediately, and remove pan from heat (salt cod toughens if simmered more than a few seconds). Let stand for 10 minutes or until you are ready to use it.
  • Drain the fish and flake it into a bowl. In a separate bowl, mash the potatoes. Using your hands or a wooden fork, mix the mashed potatoes in with flaked cod. The portions are up to you, more potato than fish is usually the norm. Suggested seasonings to be added at this point are chopped onion, chopped parsley, pepper, etc. In a cup, beat eggs with a pinch of salt. Beat 3/4 of eggs into the fish and potato mixture. Add more egg by drops if mixture is very stiff. Add a little cornmeal if the mixture is too wet. Let cool 20 minutes for easy forming.
  • In a frying pan, heat about 1/2-inch of butter or bacon grease. Shape cod mixture into small patties, being sure to flatten out the centers. Just before placing in the frying pan, coat patties with cornmeal. Fry 2 to 3 minutes on each side until browned. Remove to a tray lined with paper towels. Keep warm in 200 degree F oven while frying the remaining.
