8 Fish Cakes

25 min

Another yummy air fryer recipe! These fish cakes can also be pan fried or baked in the oven, but air frying requires less oil and cooks fastest. I loved fish sticks growing up and they were really the only fish I would ever eat (back when I was a picky eater!) While these taste similar, but are a healthier homemade alternative. You could serve these as an appetizer or even as a main course. Use any white fish for this recipe such as tilapia (this is what I used), haddock, halibut, cod, etc. Serve with a delicious lemon shallot aoili (recipe below), tartar sauce, or ketchup. Don't forget the fresh lemon slices!

The nutrition information is "per serving". How many fish cakes are considered a serving?
Looks yummy!

  Says it makes 8 servings so I would think it’s one fish cake. If you make 16 smaller ones it’d be 2 and so on

Could these be made in an air fryer? Any suggestions?
