Description

These grilled fish cakes are a delightful twist on traditional fish cakes, swapping heavy binders for creamy ricotta and spicy tuna in chili oil. The result is a tender, flavorful patty that holds together beautifully on the grill. Bright flavors from fresh parsley, salty capers, and zesty lemon juice cut through the richness, while a dusting of sweet paprika adds a subtle warmth and beautiful color. Perfect for a light lunch or an elegant appetizer, they pair wonderfully with crisp asparagus and warm Turkish pide. Simple to assemble and quick to cook, this recipe brings restaurant-quality taste to your backyard grill with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Drain the tuna well, reserving the chili oil from the can.
  2. Place the flaked tuna into a mixing bowl.
  3. Add the smooth ricotta, finely chopped flat-leaf parsley, and drained, finely chopped capers to the bowl.
  4. Stir in the lemon juice, crushed garlic clove, and half a teaspoon of sweet paprika.
  5. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and uniform.
  6. Preheat the grill or griddle pan to medium-high heat.
  7. Shape the mixture into patties or spoon directly onto the grill if using a mold.
  8. Grill the fish cakes for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and heated through.
  9. Transfer the grilled fish cakes to a serving plate.
  10. Drizzle with the reserved chili oil and sprinkle with remaining paprika.
  11. Serve immediately with sliced Turkish pide and blanched asparagus spears.
