Ingredients

  • 1 pound fresh cod fillet 2 tablespoons olive oil 1 large egg, lightly beaten 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions 2 tablespoons mayonnaise 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard 6 tablespoons breadcrumbs 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 3 dashes hot sauce, such as Tabasco Coarse salt and ground pepper

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place cod in a baking dish; rub with 1 tablespoon oil. Roast fish in oven until cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Let cool completely, then pat dry with paper towels. Flake with a fork.

In a large bowl, combine cod, egg, scallions, mayonnaise, lemon juice, mustard, breadcrumbs, parsley, hot sauce, 1/8 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Mix gently until ingredients just hold together.

Form mixture into eight equal-size patties. Freeze on baking sheets until firm, then wrap each in plastic and store in resealable freezer bags, up to 1 month. Thaw before cooking.

To serve the cakes: Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook cakes until golden brown, about 2 minutes on each side. Serve hot.

    Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5.0 stars       01/08/2020   I'm not sure why everyone is complaining about this recipe being messy...making fish cakes or patties IS messy. This recipe deserves 5 stars! The flavor, texture and freshness were off the charts! My family LOVED it. I made it to the recipe and only changed the breadcrumbs to Panko style. I did not freeze the patties. The outsides were crispy and brown and the center was filled with large flakes of cod, fresh parsley (a must) and the wonderful flavors of dijon, lemon and scallions. I felt I was at a 5 star restaurant, so thus I label this recipe with the 5 stars it deserves.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/12/2017   This recipe is great! They taste wonderful. I subs[filtered]uted parsley flakes for the fresh parsley and they still came out amazing. This will now be a regular item that I cook. I'd love to see how they do broiled rather than fried.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 1 stars       05/16/2015   What a waste of nice cod! I attempted to make these fish cakes tonight and followed the instructions to the letter. The result was a wet, sloppy mess. I had to add four additional tablespoons of bread crumbs to get a fish cakes that I could press onto parchment paper and freeze, but the fish cake was still a wet in cohesive lump that did not cook well and fell apart. Very disappointing from this web site which usually has much better recipes.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       02/13/2014   Have made these fishcakes several times now & I love them. Reduced the amount of the mustard because it seemed to overpower the delicate fish. Substituted either mashed potato or potato flakes for the breadcrumbs which worked fine. If you freeze the fishcakes, it is not necessary to defrost the cakes ahead of time. Cook them frozen 5 minutes on each side; they will be brown and cooked through. We make lots of different kinds (e.g., black bean) of "cakes," freeze them, and cook them this way.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 4 stars       01/02/2014   These are great! I made them with Chilean Bass instead of Cod. I also served with a nice homemade tartar sauce which was even better.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       08/04/2013   I cooked these Cod cake early in my marriage when I used to receive the Every Day Foods magazine. Whenever I want to make fish cakes I Google this recipe. I honestly love them.

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: 5 stars       07/15/2011   These are tasty and simple and are perfect for fixing and freezing ahead of time. Even my one-year-old eats them!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/28/2011   these are really easy and produce wonderful results. just made them for the first time and plan on making them again and again. used a little extra lemon and parsley mostly because i love those flavors.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/22/2011   We love these fish cakes. They are easy to fix and keep in the freezer for those nights when you don't know what to fix for dinner. A definite winning recipe!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       12/09/2010   These are one of our favorites, but I disagree with the comment about to much mustard. I thought it was perfect.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       10/29/2010   I just made them and they were very good. The only thing i would change is to use less mustard...it was somewhat overpowering.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/04/2010   Excellent and very easy!! Will definitely be making this one again. I'm sure it will become a family favourite! Kids loved it too!! I used cilantro instead of parsley and it was delicious.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       06/02/2010   My family loves this, and they are so easy to make.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       05/27/2010   This was super yummy and VERY easy! It will be a favorite and next time I'll double the recipe to freeze some! I used less scallions and dijon because they can be over-powering-but this is a double thumbs up!  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/23/2010   I used canned salmon i(2 cans) nstead of the cod. It turned out very good.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/13/2010   These are wonderful. I always make a triple batch because they freeze beautifully. Double wrap them in plastic and then in foil so they keep longer. To add a little crispiness, I dredge them in some egg and panko breadcrumbs before cooking them.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/10/2010   False.  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/06/2010   I thought cod was on the list of endangered species!?  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/06/2010   using FF mayo though  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/06/2010   3 pts per patty in WW  

Martha Stewart Member     Rating: Unrated       01/06/2010   Why should you have to freeze this? That will just break down the fish and make it dry and mushy. With the price of Cod Fish so expensive, I think that would be a waste. Nice to have some made up in advance, but the taste will suffer. I think you should you should fry them up freshly made. If this make too much, just cut the recipe in half.
