Instructions
1
In a medium bowl, combine mayonnaise, chopped onions, pickle relish, lemon juice, and Dijon mustard to create the tartar sauce. Mix well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
2
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3
Peel and cube the potato, then cook in the microwave for about 5 minutes or until tender. Once cooked, mash the potato and set aside to cool.
4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled mashed potato with panko breadcrumbs, scallions, chopped red pepper, parsley, oregano, salt, pepper, minced garlic, and beaten eggs. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
5
Add the cooked cod fillets to the mixture, gently flaking them apart with a fork as you combine everything. Form the mixture into 12 equal-sized patties.
6
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add 6 of the patties. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are golden brown. Remove and set aside.
7
Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray and place the cooked patties on it. Repeat the frying process with the remaining 6 patties, adding another tablespoon of oil if needed.
8
Once all patties are cooked, place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes for a crisp finish.
