Quick Cilantro Fish Cakes

These Quick Cilantro Fish Cakes are one of my Friday night meals. They are super simple to make. When you are making these fish cakes, it is very important that there is no excess moisture in the fish or the mixture will be too sloppy and difficult to shape. When pulsing the mixture in the food processor, pulse using small bursts. You don’t want to end up with a smooth paste. You want to mix until you have some paste and some fish chunks for some texture.

To make these delicious fish cakes, start by thawing, draining, and wiping the fish. Cut into smaller pieces and set aside. Pulse the fresh bread to make bread crumbs in a food processor. Remove and set aside and add the onion, garlic, ginger, and herbs. Pulse until minced. Then add the fish and pulse until the mixture is paste-like with some chunks. Place in a mixing bowl and add beaten egg and bread crumbs. Combine and season with salt and pepper. Shape into flat patties and fry in hot oil until golden brown on each side. Remove and drain excess oil on a paper kitchen towel. Serve with tomato sauce, mayonnaise, or tartar sauce on the side.

To make my version of Quick Cilantro Fish Cakes, you will need the following ingredients:
