Haddock is often used for these Canadian fish cakes, though any firm white fish
will do. This recipe, which has been adapted from Nova Scotia Cookery, Then and
Now, creates tender cakes with golden edges. If you like, the mixture may be
shaped into patties a day ahead of time and refrigerated, but for the best
texture don’t roll the cakes in bread crumbs until just before frying. Green
tomato chow-chow is an excellent accompaniment; find the recipe here.

This recipe is featured in "The Underexplored Roots of Black Cooking in Nova
Scotia."




INGREDIENTS

 * 1 small Yukon Gold potato (5 oz.), peeled

 * 1⁄4 cup sour cream

INSTRUCTIONS


STEP 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set
aside.


STEP 2

To a small pot, add the potato and enough cold water to cover; bring to a boil
over high heat and cook until the potato is tender when pierced with a knife,
13–15 minutes. Drain, and let cool. When the potato is cool enough to touch,
coarsely mash with a fork and set aside.


STEP 3

Meanwhile, cook the fish: Set the fillets on the baking sheet, transfer to the
oven, and roast until the fish flakes easily, about 15 minutes.


STEP 4

Pour the bread crumbs onto a plate and set aside. Remove the fish from the oven
and cool slightly. In a large bowl, break the fish into chunks. Add the mashed
potato, parsley, scallion, sour cream, and cayenne; mix well, then season to
taste with fresh lemon juice, kosher salt, and black pepper. Form the mixture
into eight patties, then roll each in bread crumbs.


STEP 5

Line a platter with paper towels and set by the stove. To a heavy skillet over
medium-high heat, add the oil. Once hot, add the fish cakes in batches and cook,
turning once, until golden brown and heated through, 3–4 minutes per side.
Transfer the cakes to the platter and serve hot, with green tomato chow-chow, if
desired.
