Ingredients

  • 10 oz (280 g) mild white fish, cooked
  • 1/2 stalk celery, minced
  • 3 green onions, finely sliced
  • 1 medium russet potato, baked & cooled
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) white bean purée (see notes)
  • 1/4 cup (60 mL) barbeque sauce, plus extra, as desired
  • 3 Tbsp (45 mL) chickpea flour (see notes)
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) marjoram
  • 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) dried parsley
  • 1/8 tsp (0.5 mL) paprika

Instructions

  • In a medium sized bowl, gently flake fish into small chunks then gently mix in the celery and green onion.
  • Remove skin from potato and grate potato into fish mixture.
  • In a separate bowl, combine bean purée, barbecue sauce, chickpea flour, garlic and spices. Add to fish/potato mixture and gently mix until fully combined being careful to keep the fish from falling apart.
  • Divide the fish into 6 equal amounts and press into patties. Chill patties for 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C).
  • Lightly grease a non-stick frying pan and heat until shimmering. Fry fish cakes until golden brown on each side flipping carefully only once.
  • Lightly spray a broiler pan and place fish cakes on broiler pan. Brush tops of fish cakes with additional barbecue sauce and cook in preheated oven for an additional 10 minutes.

Notes

  • To ensure this recipe is gluten free, use a gluten free barbeque sauce.
  • You can use regular flour if you don't have chickpea flour, in the same amount.
  • If you don't have marjoram on hand, oregano, savory or thyme are great substitutes!
  • White bean purée can be made from white kidney, cannellini, Great Northern or navy beans. Check out our website for more info!
