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.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish and lobster: Use firm, white-fleshed fish such as cod, haddock, or flounder. For the lobster, use fresh or frozen lobster meat.
  • Handle the fish and lobster gently: Avoid overworking the fish and lobster, as this can make the cakes tough.
  • Use fresh herbs and spices: Fresh herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to the cakes. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but use about half the amount.
  • Don't overcook the cakes: The cakes are done cooking when they are golden brown and flaky. Overcooking will make the cakes dry and tough.
  • Serve the cakes with your favorite dipping sauce: Tartar sauce, cocktail sauce, or remoulade are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Fish and lobster cakes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, main course, or snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover fish and lobster. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious fish and lobster cakes that your family and friends will love.
