Easy Fish Cake Recipe
Learn how to make Fish Cakes with your kids using potato chips, ricotta cheese, lemon juice, and Old Bay seasoning for this super easy fish cake recipe.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 12 ounces crappie, perch, catfish or similar fish fillets
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 3 Tablespoons butter, divided
- 4 ounces sour cream & onion flavored potato chips, crushed to fine crumbs
- 1 cup ricotta cheese
- juice from ½ lemon
- 1 Tablespoon Old Bay seasoning
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Pat fish fillets dry with paper towels and sprinkle all over with salt and pepper.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
- Melt butter in a large non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Add fish fillets and cook for 2 minutes, flip with fish spatula and cook other side for 1 minute more. It should be just cooked inside, but not golden.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the fish fillets and all remaining ingredients together, breaking up the fish as you mix.
- Divide mixture into 6 equal parts and use your hands to form each into a patty. (I like to make big batches of these and freeze them for my wife and daughter to make for a quick weeknight dinner when I'm out of town.)
- Melt remaining 2 Tablespoons of butter in the microwave for about 15 seconds and brush on both sides of the fish cakes.
- Place fish cakes in oven on a parchment paper-lined rimmed baking sheet and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 – 25 minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite vegetable.
