Easy And Delicious Fish Cake Appetizer Recipe
Fish cakes are a great way to turn a simple meal into something special. They are easy to prepare, and can be served as an appetizer or even a meal. The great thing about making fish cakes is that you can use whatever fish you have on hand. For this recipe, we are using cod, but you can easily substitute any other type of white fish or salmon. Fish cakes are a great way to get your family to eat more fish, as they are both flavorful and easy to eat.
Ingredients
- 2 pounds cod fillets
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 cup chopped onion
- 1/2 cup chopped celery
- 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs
- Oil for frying
Instructions
Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then, arrange the cod fillets in a single layer in a greased baking dish. Bake for 15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool slightly.
Once the fish is cool enough to handle, flake it into a large bowl. Add the mayonnaise, parsley, onion, celery, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. Mix together until everything is well combined. Add the eggs and breadcrumbs, and mix until everything is evenly distributed.
Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter. Heat some oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil is hot, add the fish cakes and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve the fish cakes warm, with your favorite dipping sauce. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks
If you don't have cod, you can use any other type of white fish, such as tilapia or haddock. You can also substitute salmon for the cod. If you don't have fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley flakes instead. Finally, you can use panko breadcrumbs in place of the regular breadcrumbs, if desired.
If you are short on time, you can make the fish cakes ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you are ready to serve them, simply heat them in the oven or in a skillet until they are heated through. This makes them a great make-ahead appetizer!
This recipe is also a great way to use up any leftover cooked fish you may have. Simply flake the cooked fish into a bowl and mix in the other ingredients as directed. Then form the mixture into patties and fry as directed.
These fish cakes are also a great way to get your children to eat more fish. They are easy to eat, kid-friendly, and full of flavor. Serve them with some tartar sauce or ketchup, and you have a great appetizer that is sure to please even the pickiest of eaters.
This recipe is easy to customize to your own tastes. Feel free to add in other herbs and spices, such as dill, chives, or garlic powder. You can also add in some finely chopped bell peppers or olives for an extra flavor boost. Get creative and make these fish cakes your own!
