I've been streaming a lot of British cooking shows lately, which is what inspired this. Not only do these look and taste amazing, they are also very inexpensive to make. Serve with watercress and lemon wedges.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

Ingredients

½ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons capers, drained and chopped
1 tablespoon finely chopped shallot
1 tablespoon finely chopped Italian parsley
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
2 teaspoons prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 pinch cayenne pepper
½ cup milk
1 bay leaf
1 pound cod, cut into 1-inch pieces
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
12 ounces russet potato, peeled and quartered
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped Italian parsley
1 tablespoon sliced fresh chives
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
⅓ cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
1 cup panko bread crumbs, or as needed
¼ cup vegetable oil, or as needed

Steps:

Mix mayonnaise, capers, shallot, parsley, tarragon, horseradish, mustard, and cayenne together in a bowl for tartar sauce and refrigerate until needed.
Add milk and bay leaf to a saucepan and place the pieces of fish over the top. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook for about 1 minute, stirring occasionally. As soon as the fish firms up, but before it starts to flake apart, turn off the heat and cover. Let sit for 5 minutes before draining. Let cool, about 10 minutes. Refrigerate until needed.
Meanwhile, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add russet potato and boil until tender but not falling apart.
Drain and mash potato in a bowl. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Add parsley, chives, and lemon zest; add 1 tablespoon tartar sauce mixture. Mix until combined. Flake chilled fish over the top. Mix until combined.
Scoop out ¼ of the mixture and form into a patty. Repeat with remaining mixture.
Dust cakes with flour on both sides. Brush both sides of cakes with beaten egg. Coat in bread crumbs.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry patties in the hot oil until golden brown and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels before serving with tartar sauce.

Tips:

Choose high-quality fish: Fresh, flaky fish like cod, haddock, or salmon will yield the best results.
Don't overcook the fish: Overcooked fish will be dry and tough. Cook the fish until it is just opaque in the center.
Use a light touch when mixing the ingredients: Overmixing will make the fish cakes tough.
Let the fish cakes rest before frying: This will help them hold their shape.
Use a hot skillet and plenty of oil when frying the fish cakes: This will help them get crispy on the outside and cooked through on the inside.
Serve the fish cakes with your favorite dipping sauce: Tartar sauce, remoulade, or a simple mayonnaise-based sauce are all good options.

Conclusion:

Fish cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are also a great way to use up leftover fish. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious fish cakes that your whole family will love.
