Ingredients
4 whole Catfish Fillets2 tablespoons Olive Oil
2 whole Bread Slices (torn)
1⁄2 cup Corn Kernels
3 whole Green Onions (sliced)
2 tablespoons Parsley (chopped)
3 whole Eggs (whisked)
1 cup Mayonnaise
1 whole Shallot (chopped)
1 tablespoon Dill (chopped)
1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
4 whole Cornichons (chopped)
1⁄2 teaspoon Salt
1⁄4 teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Directions
- Place the fillets on a baking sheet. Lightly coat both sides with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season with ½ teaspoon salt and ¼ teaspoon pepper.
- Broil the fish until opaque throughout and slightly charred, 3 to 5 minutes per side. When cool enough to handle, flake into small pieces.
- In a food processor, pulse the bread until fine crumbs form.
- In a large bowl, combine the crumbs with the corn, green onions, parsley, eggs, and flaked fish. Mix well and form into 8 large cakes.
- In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise, shallot, dill, lemon juice, and cornichons. Set tarter sauce aside.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook the cakes until crispy and golden brown, carefully turning once, 3 to 5 minutes per side. Serve with the tartar sauce.
