Any white fish, tinned salmon, or even crab can be used to make crispy fish cakes with roasted pepper sauce. Make these in the air fryer or bake them!

Ingredients:

  • Roasted Red Pepper Sauce
  • 1/4 cup roasted peppers, jarred
  • 1 clove garlic
  • 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika
  • 1/4 cup light mayonnaise
  • Fish Cakes
  • 1 pound fish fillets, such as flounder, tilapia, cod, halibut, salmon or use canned crab
  • 1 1/4 cup seasoned panko, gluten-free, divided* (or matzo meal for passover)
  • 1/4 cup minced celery
  • 2 tablespoons light mayo
  • 1/2 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 2 large eggs, divided
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
  • 3 scallions, green tops minced plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • black pepper, to taste
  • olive oil spray
  • lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions:

Step No.01

In a small blender, puree the paprika, garlic, and roasted peppers. Combine with the mayo and set aside.

Air Fryer Method:

Step No.01

After putting the fish in the air fryer basket, cook it for 6 minutes at 400 degrees Fahrenheit, or until it flakes easily with a fork. Move to a spacious bowl, allow it to cool, then break into little pieces. Empty the basket.

Step No.02

Combine fish, 1/2 cup panko, celery, mayonnaise, dijon, lemon juice, one egg, parsley, scallion, Old Bay, salt, and black pepper in a big bowl. Mix thoroughly until everything is incorporated.

Step No.03

Divide into eight equal parts (about 1/4 cup each), then shape into patties. Put a bit more panko on them if they break apart.

Step No.04

In a bowl, place the remaining egg and stir. Coat the patties in the remaining panko and pat off any excess after gently dipping them in the egg. Apply olive oil on both sides.

Step No.05

Cook the patties in batches as needed, in an even layer at 400°F for 8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crisp and golden brown. Accompany with red pepper sauce and lemon wedges.

Oven Method:

Step No.01

Fish should be baked in a 9 x 12 baking dish in a preheated 425F oven for about 10 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce it.

Step No.02

After the patties are formed, coat them with olive oil and bake for 5 to 6 minutes on each side, or until they are crisp.
