    List of Ingredients




    2 large ribs of celery, chopped
    1 small onion, diced
    Vegetable oil for frying
    3 slices white bread
    1 lb fresh cod filets, de-boned
    1 large egg
    2 tbsp mayonnaise
    1 tbsp chopped parsley
    1 tsp cayenne pepper
    1 tsp fresh lemon juice
    1/2 tsp salt
    lemon wedges (for serving)

    Recipe



    In large skillet over medium heat, saute celery and onion in a small amount of oil; cover and cook until tender and lightly browned. Set aside to cool.

    Tear bread slices into coarse crumbs. Place two thirds of crumbs on waxed paper. Place remaining crumbs in a bowl.

    Finely chop cod filets; add to bowl of bread crumbs. Mix in the cooked vegetables and add the rest of the ingredients. Shape into four, 3-inch patties. Mixture will be very stiff and moist. Refrigerate until ready to cook if you're making these ahead of time. Wipe out skillet with a paper towel.

    WHEN READY TO COOK:
    Coat patties with remaining bread crumbs.

    In the same skillet, over medium heat, in 2 tbsp of hot oil, cook patties approximately 5-6 minutes on each side, until browned and cooked through. Do not overcook.

    Drain on paper towels and serve with lemon wedges.
