Snapper Cakes

Comeback Sauce

Method

Snapper Cakes Preparation

  1. 1

    Cook the Snapper

    In a saucepan, add water and bring to a boil. Add the snapper fillets and cook for about 10 minutes or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let cool.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mixture

    Once cooled, flake the snapper into a mixing bowl. Add breadcrumbs, chopped green onions, mayonnaise, beaten egg, Dijon mustard, Old Bay seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

  3. 3

    Form the Cakes

    With your hands, shape the mixture into small patties (about 2-3 inches in diameter). Place the formed cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  4. 4

    Chill the Cakes

    Refrigerate the cakes for at least 30 minutes to help them hold their shape while frying.

  5. 5

    Fry the Cakes

    In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the snapper cakes and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and place on a paper towel to drain excess oil.

Comeback Sauce Preparation

  1. 6

    Combine Ingredients

    In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, ketchup, horseradish, Worcestershire sauce, hot sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

  2. 7

    Chill the Sauce

    Cover the sauce and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
