Haddock Fish Cakes

Give these tasty fish cakes a try! Haddock cakes are great on their own with a slice of bread, or you can round them out with a side, a favorite sauce, and a fresh vegetable salad. Instead of flour, a little bit of breadcrumbs goes into the mix — it helps the fish bind together faster and gives the finished cakes a richer, more distinctive flavor.

  • How do you make haddock fish cakes?
    1. Rinse the fish and remove the skin and any bones — you want clean fillet for this recipe. Peel the onion and dice it as finely as you can.
    1. Put the haddock fillet in a blender, add the butter cut into slices, and blend to a smooth paste.
    1. Transfer the mixture to a bowl, crack in the egg, season with salt and pepper, add the chopped onion and breadcrumbs, and mix everything together well.
    1. Scatter the remaining breadcrumbs on a flat plate. Shape the mixture into small cakes, coat them in the crumbs, and fry in vegetable oil until golden on both sides.
  • Enjoy!
  • How do you fillet a whole fish? Remove the tail, head, and fins. Cut along the backbone down to the spine. Turn the fish on its side and, with a sharp knife, slice the flesh away from the backbone. Flip it over and cut the fillet from the other side. Clean the inside, removing the dark membrane — it's bitter and will spoil the flavor. Rinse and be sure to pat it thoroughly dry.
  • Tip: The wrong pan can ruin even the best recipe. Choose a skillet suited to what you're cooking.
  • Every oil is only good up to a certain temperature — its smoke point — beyond which it starts to burn and forms harmful compounds, including carcinogens. Pick an oil with a high enough smoke point for frying, and keep the heat below that point.
