Fish spinach patties

RECIPE  FOR FISH SPINACH PATTIES

Source: Own concortion by Alice of Bits-of-Taste

Ingredients:
300g fish fillet, boneless (I used Sebelah fish fillet)
2 large Russet potatoes
One handful of spinach
2 tbsp self-raising flour
2 tbsp plain flour
1 egg, beaten

Seasonings:
1 tsp salt
1 tsp white pepper
Dash of ground black pepper
Dash of dried parsley

Methods:

  1. Blanch spinach with boiling water and few droplet of sunflower oil. Drain and chopped coarsely.
  2. Peel potatoes skin, cut into small chunks. Blanch potatoes in a pot of boiling water with dash of salt until soft.
  3. Drain and mash potatoes immediately while hot with fork or potato masher.
  4. Chop or mince fish fillet. Combine minced fish fillet, potatoes and spinach in a big mixing bowl.
  5. Add in beaten egg and mix well.
  6. Add in flour gradually and combine well. Add in seasonings, mix well.
  7. Set the mixture aside for 15 mins in room temperature or in the fridge.
  8. Heat few tablespoons of olive oil on a non-stick frying pan.
  9. Spoon patties into round or oval shape with 2 spoons (about 1 tablespoon of mixture).
  10. Pan fry on low fire about 1 – 2 mins. Turn to another side, press the patties a little with a non-stick spatula.
  11. Pan fry until the patties are golden brown but not over cooked.
  12. Place patties on kitchen towels to absorb excessive oil.
  13. Serve while warm.

Note:

  • You may use variant of fish fillet, such as salmon, dory, cod or any of your favourite fish fillet. Just to make sure they are boneless.
  • You may substitute spinach with fresh basil or fresh coriander leaves.
  • You may need to adjust the amount of flour to achieve a consistent batter.
  • Always pan fry in low fire to avoid the patties to get burn or over cooked

    i think its smart to “hide” the spinach in the patties.
    esp those who don’t like the taste.
    perfect!

    Hi!

    Seems like a great recipe for kids to eat their greens! Am thinking of making this for my son’s party.

    Can I make this in adv 2 days b4 the party and only cook it on the day itself?

    Thanks in advance!

  25. Alice says:

    Hi Diana, thanks! Great idea to make this for a party!
    I would suggest that you prepare the patties one night before, store in the fridge and cook it the next day. That’s what I have done! Good luck and enjoy! :)
