Delicious fish cakes

Cookinero 5 November 2022

If you buy frozen fish for this dish, buy blast-frozen fish so that half the weight does not go away when defrosted. For these fish cakes, you can use not only cod, but also its relative - pollock.

How to cook Delicious fish cakes

Step 1

Delicious fish cakes

Preheat oven to 200°C. Wash potatoes with a brush, wrap individually in foil and bake until tender, about 40 minutes. Plunge the finished potatoes with cold water, cool slightly, peel and grate. Do not turn off the oven. Peel and very finely chop the onion. Melt a couple of tablespoons of butter in a frying pan, put the onion, salt and fry over low heat for about 15 minutes. The onion should turn golden, but not brown.
