Ingredients

  • 1 lb Icelandic Cod Fillets
  • 2 cups vegetable stock
  • 3 lbs red potatoes
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 medium onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic diced
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
  • 2 tablespoons green onions
  • 3 tablespoons stone ground mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2-3 cups Cooking oil - enough for a 1/2 inch in your skillet

Yogurt Lemon Dill Sauce

  • 1 cup plain greek yogurt
  • 4 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon
  • 2 tablespoons fresh minced dill

Instructions

  • Start by portioning your cod into 3-inch sections and poach in the stock for 12 minutes. Remove fish from the poaching liquid and shred into medium flakes. Place in the refrigerator to cool completely.
  • Peel and cut in half potatoes. Remember to store in a bowl of cold water until ready to steam. Steam potatoes for 20 minutes or until a fork easily pierced the skin.
  • While potatoes are steaming, dice onion and garlic. Preheat skillet over medium heat and melt butter. Sweat the onions and garlic until the onions are translucent. Transfer to a plate and spread flat. Store in refrigerator until cooled completely.
  • Once potatoes have steamed, place onto a baking sheet and into a 300-degree oven for 10-15 minutes until steam stops rising. Using the small disc with a potato ricer, rice potatoes. Pat dry with a paper towel and refrigerate until completely cooled.
  • Once the potatoes and onion/garlic mixture has cooled, combine with the cod in a bowl.
  • Whisk eggs, mustard, parsley, green onion, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl and combine with cod mixture.
  • Form patties into 3 inch by 1-inch rounds and lightly coat in panko bread crumbs. Hold on a baking tray in the refrigerator until the oil is ready.
  • Heat your skillet over medium-low heat. Add 1/2-inch cooking oil into the pan. You'll know the oil is ready when the surface shimmers. Do not let it boil or smoke.
  • Add in cod cakes two to three at a time being careful not to crowd the pan. Cook 4 minutes on each side and let rest on paper towels once cooked.
  • While cod cakes are cooking, place remaining uncooked cakes in the refrigerator to keep cold.
  • Serve immediately or hold warm until you are ready to eat.
