Next, scroll the cod fillet through a meat grinder. We put it in a deep plate and knead it. We leave to stand for 10 minutes so that our minced meat gives juice. 10 minutes have passed, squeeze the minced meat a little and drain the juice. Next, take a small piece of black bread and soak in 100 ml. warm water. Onion, garlic finely chopped. Add 1 chicken egg. First, add our swollen black bread to the minced meat with an egg (knead it). Then add onion, garlic, lemon zest and mint. Salt to taste, mix everything thoroughly. Our stuffing is ready. Now we take a frying pan, add olive oil and begin to form cutlets. To do this, we take the second chicken egg, beat it in a plate until smooth and take the breadcrumbs. We form the cutlets, then gently lower them into the egg and into the breading, and put them in the pan. Fry for 10 minutes over medium heat. Put the finished product on a paper towel for 5 minutes and serve with heat and heat.

Steamed fish cakes with vegetables - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, cod works well, but you can substitute with other white fish like haddock, tilapia, or even salmon for a richer flavor. Adjust cooking time as needed.
Consider using crushed crackers, almond flour, or even finely ground oats for a gluten-free alternative. These will still provide a nice crispy coating.
Store cooked fish cakes in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly before serving.
Yes, you can freeze them! Place cooked and cooled fish cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for about 2 hours, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 2 months. Reheat directly from frozen in the oven or pan-fry until heated through.
Feel free to experiment! Green beans, bell peppers, zucchini, or even asparagus would all be delicious steamed alongside the potatoes, broccoli, carrots, and spinach.
Omit the black bread in the fish cake mixture and use almond flour instead of breadcrumbs for coating and replace the potato with other low-carb alternatives such as cauliflower.
A squeeze of lemon juice is a classic. Tartar sauce, aioli, or a simple yogurt-dill sauce would also complement the flavors nicely.
