Description

Simple recipe for making crispy fish cakes in an air fryer.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb white fish fillets (cod, haddock, or pollock), cooked and flaked
  • 1 cup mashed potato, cooled
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flaked fish, mashed potato, onion, parsley, egg, mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  2. Shape the mixture into 8 equal patties, about 1 inch thick.
  3. Place the panko breadcrumbs on a shallow plate. Lightly coat each fish cake on both sides with the breadcrumbs.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 380F (195C).
  5. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
  6. Place the fish cakes in a single layer in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary. Spray the tops of the fish cakes lightly with cooking spray.
  7. Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and heated through.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use leftover cooked fish for convenience.
  • Serve with tartar sauce or a squeeze of lemon juice.
