Description

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


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound 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 breadcrumbs (for coating)
  • 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 breadcrumbs on a shallow plate. Lightly coat each fish cake with breadcrumbs, pressing gently so they adhere.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit (195 degrees Celsius).
  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 quicker preparation.
  • For extra crispiness, chill the formed patties for 15 minutes before breading.
