Description

These Crispy Cod Cakes are a delightful twist on the classic fish cake, offering a perfect balance of textures. The exterior is coated in paprika-spiced breadcrumbs that bake to a golden crisp, while the interior remains moist and tender with flaked cod. Aromatics like minced onion and green pepper provide a fresh, savory depth, complemented by the tang of mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Using fat-free mayonnaise keeps the mixture light without sacrificing creaminess. This dish is an excellent choice for a quick weeknight dinner or a light lunch. It pairs beautifully with a simple green salad, coleslaw, or roasted vegetables. The Mediterranean-inspired flavors make it feel both comforting and sophisticated, satisfying cravings for seafood without the hassle of frying.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375&# 194;°F (190ðC).
  2. Lightly coat a baking sheet or dish with cooking spray.
  3. Place the cod fillet on a plate or small dish and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Remove the fish from the oven and allow it to cool slightly, then flake it into small pieces using a fork.
  5. While the fish cools, heat the olive oil in a small skillet over medium heat.
  6. Add the minced onion and green pepper to the skillet and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until softened. Remove from heat.
  7. In a mixing bowl, combine the flaked cod, cooked onion and pepper mixture, 1 tablespoon of bread crumbs, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, and fat-free mayonnaise. Mix gently until well combined.
  8. Divide the mixture into four equal portions and shape each into a round, flat cake about 1/2-inch thick.
  9. In a shallow bowl, mix the remaining 1/2 cup of bread crumbs with the paprika.
  10. Gently press each cake into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides evenly.
  11. Place the coated cakes on the prepared baking sheet.
  12. Bake for 10 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the cakes are heated through and golden brown on the outside.
