The combination of salmon and whitefish is delicious (and pretty). The recipe is from Diane Rossen Worthington and was published in Bon Appétit Magazine (April 2008) and is a great alternative to traditional gefilte fish. If you are preparing the accompanying sauce add the horseradish a little bit at a time as just a little goes a long way.

Tips:

  • Choose the right fish: For the best results, use a combination of salmon and whitefish. Salmon provides a rich, oily flavor, while whitefish adds a delicate, flaky texture.
  • Don't overmix the fish mixture: Overmixing will make the fish cakes tough. Gently combine the ingredients until just incorporated.
  • Use panko breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs are lighter and airier than regular breadcrumbs, which will help to create crispy fish cakes.
  • Pan-fry the fish cakes over medium heat: This will help to prevent them from burning and ensure that they cook evenly throughout.
  • Serve the fish cakes with a flavorful sauce: The horseradish-cucumber sauce in this recipe is a great option, but you could also try a tartar sauce or a lemon-herb sauce.

Conclusion:

These salmon and whitefish cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. They are crispy on the outside and tender and flaky on the inside, and the horseradish-cucumber sauce adds a refreshing and flavorful touch. Serve them with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a salad.
