Something delicious to make with leftover halibut or cod or any white fish. My Alaskan family and extended family in the lower 48 love these.

Yield:
6 halibut cakes

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil, divided

  • 1 pound skinless, boneless halibut fillets

  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

  • 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

  • 1 egg

  • ¼ cup mayonnaise, or more as needed

  • ¼ cup minced onion

  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice

  • 2 tablespoons panko bread crumbs

  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon dry mustard

  • 1 teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)

  • ¾ cup panko bread crumbs

Directions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add halibut fillets; season with salt and pepper. Cook until flesh flakes easily with a fork, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate; cool until easily handled, about 5 minutes. Flake into small chunks.

  2. Mix Italian cheese blend, egg, mayonnaise, onion, lemon juice, 2 tablespoons bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, dry mustard, and seafood seasoning together in a large bowl. Gently mix in flaked halibut, adding more mayonnaise if the mixture seems dry.

  3. Pour 3/4 cup bread crumbs into a shallow dish. Shape halibut mixture into 6 cakes and dip both sides in bread crumbs to coat.

  4. Heat remaining 2 tablespoons oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add halibut cakes and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.

Recipe Tip

Use your favorite type of grated cheese.
