Broiled Fishcakes With Ginger and Cilantro image

Very tasty and relatively low fat fishcakes via Mark Bittman. These are a tad spicy and are great served on greens or a bun with a mayonaise of your choice, sliced onion and cucumber and a fruit salsa. They can be made in a counter top grill like a George Forman, adjusting cooking time for the fact that both sides are cooked at once.

Time 1h

Yield 8 fishcakes

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 (1/2 lb) baking potato
1 1/2 lbs cod fish fillets (or other white fish)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, minced (plus more for garnish)
1 small hot red chili pepper, minced (or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 lime, cut in wedges

Steps:

  • Boil the potato in salted water until tender but not mushy (or bake the potato until tender but not overly soft).
  • Place the fish in a skillet which can be covered and cover the fish with salted water.
  • Bring to a boil over high heat, turn off the heat, cover the fish and let it poach in the water for ten minutes.
  • Transfer the fish via slotted spoon to a bowl.
  • Peel the cooked potato and add it to the fish and mash the two together.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Add the seasonings and salt and pepper to taste to the fish/potato mixture and work the mixture with your hands until well blended.
  • Shape into 8 equal burger-shaped patties.
  • Brush the patties on both sides with the oil and place on a non-stick or foil covererd cookie sheet.
  • Broil about 4" from heat source until nicely browned on top--about 3 minutes; then turn and brown the other side.
  • Serve hot garnished with lime wedges and additional cilantro.
