SPICY TILAPIA AND FETA CAKES

Spicy Tilapia and Feta Cakes image

Wholesome fish dishes do not have to be boring. I love crab cakes...I have made tuna cakes...so why not tilapia cakes? Add some feta and hot sauce and really make it an interesting fish dish. Serve with a dill sauce or simple sour cream.
