Halibut and Scallop Cakes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound halibut fillet flaked or chopped into pea-sized pieces
  • 1/2 pound bay or sea scallops chopped into pea-sized pieces (remove abductor muscle on sea scallops)
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 large egg lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced green onions
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1/3 cup Japanese breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
  • olive oil

Instructions

  • Combine chopped fish and scallops in a medium bowl and dust with flour. In a separate bowl, combine remaining ingredients except olive oil and mix well.
  • Combine the contents of both bowls and mix well. Mixture should be the consistency of moist cookie dough. Divide mixture into 4 equal portions. Form 2 balls out of each portion and then press each into cakes, about 3/4-inch thick. Make sure that the cakes hold together and don’t fall apart. If they are too moist, add a light dusting of flour evenly over the mixture. If they are too dry, add a little more mayonnaise.
  • Heat a thin layer of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the 8 cakes and lightly brown on both sides until just cooked throughout. You can also lightly brown the cakes and then finish cooking them through in a preheated 350 degree oven for 5 – 6 minutes.
  • Serve immediately and top with your favorite sauce - lemon aioli, cocktail sauce, tartar sauce, etc.
