Ingredients

For the Cod Cakes

  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 pound cod cut into 1-inch pieces
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 12 ounces russet potato peeled and quartered
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped Italian parsley
  • 1 tbsp sliced fresh chives
  • 1 tsp finely grated lime zest

For the Tartar Sauce

  • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp capers drained and chopped
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped shallots
  • 1 tbsp finely chopped Italian parsley
  • 2 tsp prepared horseradish
  • 1 tsp Stone ground mustard
  • 1 pinch cayenne pepper

For the Breading

  • cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs or as needed

Instructions

  • Mix mayonnaise, capers, shallot, parsley, horseradish, mustard, and cayenne together in a bowl for tartar sauce and refrigerate until needed.
  • Add milk and bay leaf to a saucepan and place the pieces of fish over the top. Season with salt. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, and cook for about 2 minutes, stirring occasionally. As soon as the fish firms up, but before it starts to flake apart, turn off the heat and cover. Let sit for 5 minutes before draining. Let cool, about 10 minutes. Refrigerate until needed.
  • Meanwhile, bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add russet potato and boil until tender but not falling apart.
  • Drain and mash potato in a bowl. Season with salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Add parsley, chives, and lime zest; add 1 tablespoon tartar sauce mixture. Mix until combined.
  • Flake chilled fish over the top. Mix until combined.
  • Scoop out ¼ of the mixture and form into a patty. Repeat with remaining mixture.
  • Dust cakes with flour on both sides. Brush both sides of cakes with beaten egg. Coat in bread crumbs.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Pan-fry patties in the hot oil until golden brown and heated through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
