Oven baked Fish cakes with Beets and Cucumber salad – A truly delicious meal!
Prep: 10m | Rest: 30m | Cook: 27m | Total: 1h 7m | Serves: 30
Ingredients:
For the Fish Cakes:
- 1 kg (35oz) Hake Fish, fillet deboned
- 2 Onions, very finely cut /blended*
- 2 Carrots, grated
- 2 Tbsp Mustard, mild
- 2 Tbsp Olive oil (adjustable)
- 4 Tbsp toasted Breadcrumbs
- 1 cup of Parsley, finely chopped
- 5 Cloves of Garlic, minced
- 1/3 cup fresh Spearmint, finely cut
- 1 pinch of dry Spearmint
- 1 small pinch of Oregano
- A pinch of Salt and Pepper
For the salad:
- 3 Beets, cut into chunks
- 1 Cucumber, cut into wide strips
- Red wine Vinegar
- Olive Oil
- 1/2 tsp Chia seeds (optional)
Instructions:
- Add the fish to a pot with boiling water over high heat and let it boil with an open lid for 5 minutes.
- Debone the fish and add it to a large bowl.
- Prepare all the ingredients as I mentioned in the ingredient instructions above, add them to the bowl with the fish, and mix well until you get a soft but pliable mixture.
- Cover the mixture with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- Shape them like small burger patties and place them on a baking tray with parchment paper.
- Bake at 200C for 20 minutes and then flip them to bake for 7 more minutes.
- Serve the beets and cucumber salad on a plate, top it with a little olive oil, red wine vinegar, 1 pinch of salt, and 1/2 tsp chia seeds (optional).
- Add 3 fish cakes to a plate with the beets and cucumber salad and enjoy!
Notes:
- You may have to adjust the amount of Olive Oil and breadcrumbs until you get a pliable mixture.
- You may add whatever fish you like as long as it does not have a lot of bones.
- For 1 kg of raw cleaned fish you will have to buy more than a kilo. I would estimate around 1.2 kg.
- If you use the kitchen processor to chop the onion into very small pieces then you should drain them from the excess water afterwards.
