Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Frozen cauliflower
  • Olive or vegetable oil
  • 1 lb Boneless fresh cod
  • Salt and pepper
  • 1-2 Green onions thinly sliced
  • 2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh dill chopped (optional)
  • 1 Large egg beaten
  • 1 cup Pork rind crumbs Approx. measurement

Instructions

  • Place cauliflower in a microwave safe bowl, cook for 10 minutes. Transfer to a food processor, blitz until well pureed. Set aside to cool.
  • Heat about 2 tablespoon oil in a frying pan. Place fish in pan, sprinkle with a little salt and pepper, and cook - flipping to cook on both sides - until opaque and flakes easily when prodded with a fork. Remove from heat.
  • Add fish to bowl of mashed cauliflower, use a fork to flake/mash the fish into small pieces.
  • Add green onions, mustard, and dill, if using. Taste, season with salt, pepper, and more dill if desired.
  • Add egg, mix until well distributed. Cover bowl, chill for 10 minutes.
  • Divide fish mixture into 8 evenly sized balls. Form into patties, roll in pork rind crumbs, pressing to secure.
  • Transfer each cake to a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Wipe fry pan out, add another 2 tablespoon oil. Heat oil over medium heat, add a few fish cakes - don’t crowd the pan - and pan fry until golden brown, crispy, and heated through.
  • Repeat with remaining fish cakes.
  • Serve hot, with tartar sauce, lemon wedges, and/or more fresh dill.
