WEST INDIES FISH CAKES WITH CURRY AIOLI

West Indies Fish Cakes With Curry Aioli image

The light, slightly crispy fish cakes can be a welcome change to any Caribbean meal. Use the accompaning curry aioli (lots of garlic flavor there!) with it or use your favorite tartar sauce. Note: if using salt cod, you will have to soak that for several days in water, changing out the water about every 6 hours until the saltiness goes away (refrigerated). Then you will need to remove any bones, skin and cartilage if they are present, before boiling and flaking your fish. Enjoy!

Ingredients

2 cups boiled cleaned and flaked salt cod fish (or may use 2 cups leftover cooked flaked light firm fish)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
3 scallions, chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon curry powder (Jamaican style preferred)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 cup water

1 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
2 teaspoons curry powder (Jamaican style preferred)
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice

Mix all ingredients for fish cakes together (except oil and lemon slices) in a mixing bowl until blended.
Adjust water or flour, if necessary, to achieve a consistency similar to pancake batter (or just a tad thicker).

Spoon or drop approximately 1/4 cup fish cake batter into hot oil and cook about 2-3 minutes per side or until golden, puffy, and firm.
Do not overcrowd pan.
Drain fish cakes on paper toweling.
Serve fish cakes hot with curry aioli or tartar sauce, and lemon slices, if desired.
