Fish Cakes over Cheese Grits

My husband fishes a lot which means we always have fish in the freezer. I've been stuck in a rut with it though. Cooking it the same few ways. 

As I was browsing the grocery store aka rushing to get milk and bread before the baby starts to climb out of the cart. I saw crab meat and thought dang that's expensive but crab cakes sound so good! Then duh!!! The idea to use fish instead of crab came to me. Why have I never thought of this before?! It makes perfect sense. Well it turned out great! 

Fish Cakes: 

2 filets of flakey fish. I used wahoo. If you are buying from the grocery cod or tilapia would be good. Salt and pepper both sides and cook it but just till its almost done thru. 

1 cup bread crumbs

1 tsp dried dill

1 tbs Cajun seasoning or old bay 

1 tsp dried cilantro 

1 tbs garlic salt 

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese 

1/2 cup mayonnaise 

1 tbsp spicy brown mustard 

1 large egg 

Oil 

How to:

1. Heat oil to medium low heat. 

2. Mix all dry ingredients together. Mix all wet ingredients together then mix the wet and dry together. 

3. Once fish is cooked break apart and gently mix in to mixture. 

4. Make cakes. 

5. Fry up, put on paper towels or paper bags to get excess oil off. 

6. Top with lemon and/or like juice 

7. Place on top of cheese grits 

Cheese Grits:

Follow directions on grits. Make sure to salt water. Once cooked add any cheese you like and 1 1/2 tbsp butter. I used Colby, Mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses from most to least in that order. 

Enjoy!
