Never been a huge fish fan if I'm honest (it's my terrestrial roots I suppose)...not until now anyway! Hehe, everything is better in cake form, as we all know, and I am now kicking myself for not having realized that and made fish cakes sooner (all those boring fillets...yuck). This is a great way to get rid of all sorts of things, nondescript white fish, random aging veggies in your fridge, bits of leftover flour, oil etc. So mix away and feel free to sub out any of the ingredients below, they were mostly what was in my fridge from a recent trip to the farmer's market. :)
Mince garlic, onion, scapes, scallions and radishes (or food process lightly).
Add fish and chopped veggies to a mixing bowl; add flours, oil, salt, turmeric, and acid, and mix well. You should end up with a batter that sticks together and is spoonable in big chunks (if it's too loose/doesn't adhere, add a bit of water).
Add 1 tb of cooking oil to a good, non-stick saute pan (I used my cast iron saute pan) over medium heat.
When oil is hot, form fish cake patties (about 2 inches wide) in pan. Cook 4-5 minutes per side until brown, then cover and lower heat to cook through a few more minutes (you can also finish these/keep warm in the oven while the others are cooking).
Serve while hot, with toum, aioli, pesto etc., and feel free to garnish with scallions or parsley.
