Wholesome fish dishes do not have to be boring. I love crab cakes...I have made tuna cakes...so why not tilapia cakes? Add some feta and hot sauce and really make it an interesting fish dish. Serve with a dill sauce or simple sour cream.

Time 35m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 pound tilapia fillets, cut into small chunks
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 to 3/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/2 cup dry white wine
1 28-ounce can San Marzano tomatoes, crushed by hand
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil, plus more for topping
Kosher salt
10 ounces multigrain spaghetti
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Toss the tilapia, 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 teaspoon of the garlic and 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes in a medium bowl. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes, 1/4 cup basil and 1/2 cup water. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 12 minutes.

  • When the pasta is almost done, add the tilapia to the skillet with the tomato sauce and simmer, stirring gently, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Stir in the parsley and the remaining 1/4 cup basil; season with salt. Drain the pasta and add it to the sauce. Divide among bowls and top with more basil.

Tips for Making Spicy Tilapia and Feta Cakes

- Use fresh, firm tilapia fillets for the best results. - If you don't have any Greek yogurt, you can substitute regular yogurt. Just be sure to drain it well before using. - You can use any kind of feta cheese you like. I prefer a firm feta that will hold its shape when cooked. - Be careful not to overcook the tilapia cakes. They should be cooked through but still moist and flaky. - Serve the tilapia cakes with your favorite dipping sauce. I like to serve them with a simple tomato sauce or a creamy dill sauce. - These tilapia cakes can be made ahead of time and reheated later. Just be sure to store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Conclusion

Spicy tilapia and feta cakes are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They're perfect for a party or a weeknight dinner. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
