King Mackerel Cakes Recipes

Steps:

• Mix mackerel, onion, tuna, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, eggs, Dijon mustard, seasoning blend, paprika, and basil together in a bowl. Add pork rind crumbs, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, until mixture holds together. Form mixture into balls and flatten into 1/2-inch-thick cakes.
• Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and grease with cooking spray. Arrange cakes in the hot skillet and spray each cake with cooking spray.
• Cook cakes, working in batches if needed, in the hot skillet until browned, 3 to 5 minutes; gently flatten cakes with the back of a fork. Flip cakes and cook until other side is browned, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer cakes to a paper towel-lined plate.

Steps:

• You may soak the king mackerel in milk for 1 hour prior to making the cakes, but you may omit this step. Milk may help to take the strong flavor out.
• Pour the milk off if you soaked it. With a spoon scrape the fish from the connective tissue and chop any large chunks into smaller random pieces (about the size of mixed nuts).
• Finely chop the onion, celery, and bell pepper.
• Add the remaining flour mixed with 1 tablespoon creole seasoning in a shallow dish for breading. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine the fish, onion, celery, bellpepper, garlic powder, worcestershire sauce, and eggs, hot sauce and 1/2 tablespoon creole seasoning. Mix together (works best with your hands). Add the bread crumbs and about 1/4 cup flour.
• Form the mixture into large meatball sized handfuls. Flatten to about 1/2 inch. Add more flour/breadcrumbs if mixture is too wet and won't stick together. Mixture may crumble slightly but should hold together. Pat both sides of cake in flour mixture that was set aside.
• In a large frying pan add a couple of tablespoons of canola oil and a tablespoon of butter and heat over medium heat. Fry cakes until browned on both sides. Transfer to a dish lined with paper towels and keep warm in an oven until you are ready to serve.
• Serve with with mustard lime sauce or ketchup.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the potato, spring onions, horseradish and mackerel, then shape into 8 even-size cakes. Roll the fishcakes in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip in the egg, followed by the breadcrumbs. Cover and chill until ready to cook. Can be prepared up to a day ahead, or frozen.
• Gently grill or shallow-fry the fishcakes for 5-6 mins on each side until crunchy, golden brown and hot all the way through. Serve with salad and lemon wedges.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• In a saucepan over low heat combine all ingredients except for the fish.
• Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes.
• Remove the bay leaf.
• Place fish in a baking dish and pour the sauce over the fish.
• Bake for 30-40 minutes.
