Broiled Fishcakes With Ginger And Cilantro - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (1/2 lb) baking potato
1 1/2 lbs cod fish fillets (or other white fish)
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1/2 cup fresh cilantro, minced (plus more for garnish)
1 small hot red chili pepper, minced (or 1/4 teaspoon cayenne)
salt & freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 lime, cut in wedges

Preparation

Boil the potato in salted water until tender but not mushy (or bake the potato until tender but not overly soft).
Place the fish in a skillet which can be covered and cover the fish with salted water.
Bring to a boil over high heat, turn off the heat, cover the fish and let it poach in the water for ten minutes.
Transfer the fish via slotted spoon to a bowl.
Peel the cooked potato and add it to the fish and mash the two together.
Preheat the broiler.
Add the seasonings and salt and pepper to taste to the fish/potato mixture and work the mixture with your hands until well blended.
Shape into 8 equal burger-shaped patties.
Brush the patties on both sides with the oil and place on a non-stick or foil covererd cookie sheet.
Broil about 4\" from heat source until nicely browned on top--about 3 minutes; then turn and brown the other side.
Serve hot garnished with lime wedges and additional cilantro.
