Description

Crispy and flavorful fish cakes made with Arctic Char and Indian spices, perfect for a light meal or appetizer.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 medium fillets Arctic Char (or Haddock, Cod, Salmon)
  • 2 medium potatoes
  • 1 tsp crushed ginger
  • 1 tsp crushed garlic
  • 1 tsp ground cumin
  • 1 tsp ground coriander
  • 1 tsp garam masala
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) chopped fresh coriander
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup (240 ml) panko breadcrumbs
  • Oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Boil the potatoes in a pot until tender. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
  2. Place the fish fillets in a separate pot with 2 cups of water and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer until the fish is cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and transfer to a bowl, then mash with a fork.
  3. Peel the boiled potatoes and mash them. Combine with the mashed fish.
  4. Add crushed ginger, crushed garlic, ground cumin, ground coriander, garam masala, chopped fresh coriander, and salt to the fish and potato mixture. Mix well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
  5. Shape the mixture into patties of your desired size.
  6. Prepare a batter by mixing the flour with a little water to form a thick paste. Dip each patty into the flour batter, then roll in panko breadcrumbs to coat evenly.
  7. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Fry the patties in batches until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
  8. Serve hot as an appetizer or with a salad for a light meal.
