Yield 4 Servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 pound cooked, flaked pike or other white fish
1 egg
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup cooked wild rice
1/4 cup minced onion (red if you have one)
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard (Dijon if you have it)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
1 tablespoon fresh chopped chives
1/4 cup butter, lard or vegetable oil for cooking
Greens for a salad

Steps:

Make sure any little bones are out of the fish. Mix everything (except the oil and salad greens) together in a large bowl. Divide the mix into 8 roughly equal parts and form into patties. If you have time, set the patties on a cookie sheet in the fridge for 30 minutes to firm up. You can skip this step if you are rushed. Fry the patties in the butter until golden brown, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve with a green salad with a nice vinaigrette, or try my saffron aioli.
