Time 1h10m

Yield makes 14 cakes; serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 21

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, divided
1 1/2 cups (1/4- to 1/2-inch-diced) yellow onion
1 cup (1/4- to 1/2-inch-diced) celery
1 large Holland red bell pepper, cored, seeded, and 1/4- to 1/2-inch-diced
1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless cod fillets, cut into 4 pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups panko (Japanese bread flakes), divided
3 tablespoons minced fresh dill
2 tablespoons good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
2 extra-large eggs, lightly beaten
1/2 pound cooked lobster meat, 1/2-inch-diced
Good olive oil
Rémoulade Sauce (recipe follows)
1 1/2 cups good mayonnaise, such as Hellmann's
6 tablespoons minced cornichons
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
3 tablespoons Champagne or white wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 200 degrees.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons of the butter in a large (12-inch) sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper and cook over medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender. Place the fish on top of the vegetables and add the cream, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, cover, and simmer for 6 to 12 minutes (depending on the thickness of the cod), until the fish is just cooked. Set aside in the pan for 10 minutes, then flake the fish in large pieces with a fork.
  • Put 2 cups of the panko in a large bowl. Add the cod mixture, including the cooking liquid, the dill, mayonnaise, mustard, lemon zest, eggs, lobster, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon black pepper and mix gently.
  • Using a 2 1/4-inch ice cream scoop as a measure, shape the mixture into 14 (3-inch) fish cakes. Place the remaining 2 cups of panko on a plate and coat the cakes all over, patting the coating to adhere. Wipe the sauté pan clean with a paper towel and heat 2 tablespoons of the butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in the pan over medium heat. Place 5 cakes in the pan and cook for 5 minutes on each side, until nicely browned on both sides. Transfer the cakes to a sheet pan and keep them warm in the oven for up to 15 minutes. Repeat, adding more butter and oil, until the entire mixture is cooked. Serve hot with the Rémoulade Sauce.
  • Place the mayonnaise, cornichons, mustard, vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 3/4 teaspoon pepper in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Pulse a few times until the cornichons are finely chopped (not pureed). Transfer to a sealed container and refrigerate.

Living near the ocean, I have a wide variety of seafood available to experiment with in recipes. This one uses salmon and scallops, but shrimp, crab, lobster, or any firm white fish, such as halibut or even cod, would work equally as well. - Elizabeth Truesdell, Petaluma, California

Tips:

  • For tender and flaky fish cakes, use a combination of fish with varying textures, such as cod, salmon, and tilapia.
  • Soak the bread in milk to soften it and add moisture to the fish cakes.
  • Be gentle when mixing the ingredients to prevent overworking the fish, which can result in tough cakes.
  • Season the fish cakes generously with herbs, spices, and salt and pepper to enhance their flavor.
  • If the fish cake mixture is too wet, add more bread crumbs until it reaches the desired consistency.
  • Shape the fish cakes into patties and refrigerate or freeze them before cooking to help them hold their shape.
  • Pan-fry the fish cakes over medium heat until golden brown and cooked through, or bake them in a preheated oven for a healthier option.
  • Serve the fish cakes with your favorite dipping sauce, such as tartar sauce, remoulade, or cocktail sauce.
