-
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
-
Season both sides of the fish with 2 Tbsp of Spice Union Chesapeake Bay Spice Blend.
-
Place the fish into a ceramic or glass baking dish.
-
Pour the white wine into the baking dish.
-
Place the fish into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or just until the fish is barely cooked through.
-
Remove the fish from the oven and set aside to cool to room temperature.
-
Peel the potatoes and cut each potato into three pieces.
-
Place the potatoes, salt and water into a small pot.
-
On medium heat, cook the potatoes until fork tender (about 20 minutes).
-
Remove the potatoes from the water and allow for 5 minutes.
-
Combine the onion, garlic and butter in a small sauté pan.
-
Sauté over low heat until the onions are cooked through.
-
Remove the onions from the heat and set aside to cool to room temperature.
-
Using a large fork, gently mash the potatoes until they are in pea sized bits.
-
Flake the fish into small pieces.
-
Combine the fish, potato, onion mixture, parsley and remaining Spice Union Chesapeake Bay Spice Blend in a large bowl.
-
Gently fold together the fish mixture until well combined.
-
Let the fish mixture rest for 30 minutes.
-
Using a mold (jar lid or food mold) lined with plastic wrap, form the fish cakes.
-
In a large cast iron pan, heat the peanut oil to 400°F.
-
Dredge the fish cakes in flour, coat in egg and dredge in the Panko bread crumbs.
-
Immediately place the fish cakes in the hot oil.
-
Fry the fish cakes for 2-3 minutes per side or until golden brown.
-
Remove the fish cakes to a paper towel line dish. This will absorb any excess oil.
-
Serve the fish cakes immediately with lemon wedges on the side and a fresh salad with a light vinaigrette.
