Another cold day in Wichita, and another wonderful chance to spend time in the kitchen, experimenting... This time it’s fish cakes. I tried several different types of fish; finally settling on a 50/50 mix of shrimp and cod. Feel free to try your own mix. I then added some spices to kick up the flavor, and baked, not fried the results. So, you ready… Let’s get into the kitchen.

How To Make spicy baked (not fried) fish cakes big easy style

  • 1
    Gather all your ingredients together.

    Place the fish and the eggs in the bowl of a food processor, fitted with an S-blade.

    Process with one-second pulses until it forms a course paste, about 8 – 10 pulses.

    Chef's Note: I did try them with half the breadcrumbs with the fish, and the other half used as a coating, but I preferred them with all the breadcrumbs with the fish.
  • 6
    Shape the mixture into small cakes of about 5 ounces each.
  • 7
    Place a rack in the middle position, and preheat the oven to 375f (190c).
  • 8
    Heat the oil in a sauté pan, and cook the fish cakes about two minutes on each side.
  • 9
    Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and finish cooking in the oven for 8 – 10 minutes.

    Serve warm on a bed of Spring greens and garnish with some tarter sauce. Enjoy.
