Equipment
- 1 baking pan
- 1 Frying pan
- 1 Spatula
Ingredients
- 425 grams cod fillet
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper
- ¼ cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1¼ cup mashed potatoes will need about 3 medium size potatoes
- 1 large egg

- 1 tbsp grated lemon rind
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- ¼ cup dill, finely chopped
- ¼ cup parsley, finely chopped
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp pepper

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Prepare your cod by patting it dry with paper towels. Next place the fish in a baking pan coated with the olive oil. Season fish with salt and pepper. Bake in the middle rack of your oven for 12 - 15 minutes, until the cod is flaky and cooked through. Allow to cool until easy to handle.425 grams cod fillet, ¼ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
- Meanwhile, heat the olive oil in a frying pan and saute the onion and garlic over medium heat until soft and translucent. Remove from heat and set aside.olive oil for frying, ¼ cup onion, finely chopped, 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- In a large bowl break apart the cooked cod with your fingers, leaving some small chunks. Add the cooked onion and garlic, the mashed potatoes, lemon juice and rind, the herbs, the egg, the breadcrumbs and salt and pepper. Mix gently, until well combined.1¼ cup mashed potatoes, 1 large egg, 1 tbsp bread crumbs, 1 tbsp grated lemon rind, 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice, ¼ cup dill, finely chopped, ¼ cup parsley, finely chopped, ½ tsp salt, ¼ tsp pepper
- Prepare your cod cakes by forming them with damp hands. We like to use about 2 - 3 tablespoons of mixture for each cod cake; any larger and they become difficult to flip in the pan as they cook. Shape them into rounds and flatten until they are approximately ½ inch thick.
- Heat about ⅓ inch of oil in a frying pan and fry the cod potato cakes, a few at a time so as to not crowd the pan. Flip over carefully after a few minutes. The cod cakes are ready when they are golden brown on both sides. This will take about 4 minutes / side.olive oil for frying
- Serve with lemon wedges and enjoy.
Notes
You can use leftover mashed potatoes for this recipe, or make the mash specifically for these cod potato cakes. Use any variety of peeled potatoes to make your mashed potatoes.
