Cuisine: Israeli/Mediterranean
Prep time: 15 mins
Cook time: 10 mins
Total time: 25 mins
Ingredients
  • 350g skinless cod fillets
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained and chopped
  • Zest from 1 lemon
  • ¾ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 green onion, white and green part chopped
  • ½ egg
  • 2 ½ tablespoons breadcrumbs
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ¼ teaspoon ground turmeric
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, pulse the cod fillets a couple of times until it resembles a dice. The mixture shouldn't be mushy; the pieces of cod should still be noticeable. Put all the cod in a mixing bowl.
  2. Add all the rest of the ingredients to the mixing bowl. Form about 10 round cakes and place them side-by-side on a plate. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the cod cakes for about 5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Serve warm.
