How to Make Sauteed Fish Cakes

White fish, cod or tilapia are firm types of white fish that make excellent fish cakes. The Dijon mustard and lemon add a fresh, tangy flavor. Squeeze a little lemon juice on the top just before serving for more zip.

Step-By-Step Instructions:

  1. Add enough water to fill a large skillet 2/3 full. Over medium heat, bring the water to simmering. Add the fish and simmer for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. Remove the fish chunks with a slotted spoon. Add the fish to a mixing bowl and let cool for 5 minutes.

  2. Drain any excess liquid from the bowl. Add the yogurt, mustard, lemon juice, salt, lemon zest, and egg and mix well. Add ½ cup of the bread crumbs plus the scallions and hot sauce and mix well. Shape the fish mixture into 6 cakes. Coat each side of the cakes lightly with the remaining bread crumbs. Add the cakes to a plate and refrigerate, covered, for 30 minutes.

  3. Remove the cakes from the refrigerator and let stand 5 minutes. In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the cakes to the skillet and sauté for about 5 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
