Chopped Tilapia Fish Cakes

by Editorial Staff

The inexpensive and tasty tilapia fish can be used in a variety of dishes, and chopped burgers are one of them. And if for traditional cutlets the fish is minced in a meat grinder, then these cutlets are prepared from tilapia fillets cut into small cubes. Chopped fish cakes with the addition of semolina and fresh herbs are very juicy, aromatic, with a golden-brown crust.

Servings: 4

Ingredients

  • Tilapia fillet – 500 g
  • Egg – 1 pc.
  • Semolina – 30 g (about 2 tablespoons)
  • Fresh dill – 1-2 branches
  • Fresh parsley – 1-2 branches
  • Spice for fish – 1 teaspoon or to taste
  • Salt – 0.5 teaspoon
  • Refined oil – 3 tbsp
  • Flour (for breading) – 30 g (about 2 tablespoons)

Directions

  1. Wash the fish, dry, and cut into small cubes. The tilapia is quite dense, so it’s easy to do (or you may not need to completely defrost the fillet).
  2. Wash the parsley and dill, remove the stems and chop finely.
  3. Combine prepared fish, semolina, salt, black pepper, chopped herbs in a deep bowl. Add the egg and stir everything.
  4. Leave the resulting minced fish on the table for 10-15 minutes to swell the semolina.
  5. Sprinkle flour on a board or work surface. Form a cutlet out of the minced fish, put in flour, and gently roll on all sides (you can sprinkle flour on top so as not to deform the cutlet).
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet and place 3-4 cutlets in hot oil.
  7. Cook the chopped fish cakes over medium heat on each side for 3-4 minutes.
  8. Put the finished cutlets in a saucepan and cover with a lid or foil, so they will be softer and juicier. (From the specified amount of ingredients, 11-12 cutlets are obtained.)
  9. For some reason, I used to always cook cutlets from minced meat, but it’s much easier to cook a dish from finely chopped fillets.

Enjoy your meal!
