Halibut Cakes (Croquettes)

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.

Ingredients:

  • ¼ cup vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 pound skinless, boneless halibut fillets
  • 1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 1 cup shredded Italian cheese blend
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup mayonnaise
  • 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:

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.

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.

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.

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