Ingredients

2 pounds fresh cod fillets
1 cup soy creamer
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons potato starch
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
tablespoon vegan butter (such as Earth Balance ®), or more to taste
1 cup water, or as needed
1 splash dry white wine

Steps:

Break cod into pieces and place in a food processor with soy creamer, onion, eggs, potato starch, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper; process until evenly blended. Transfer to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
Remove from the refrigerator and shape into balls (think crab cake size but thicker.)
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add fish balls and saute on all sides until golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 inch water to the skillet with wine. Cover, bring to a simmer, and cook until cooked through, about 10 more minutes.
