Spicy Cod Cakes With Chipotle Sauce - cooking recipe

Ingredients

12 ounces cod fish fillets or 12 ounces flaky mild white fish fillets
1 egg
4 tablespoons light mayonnaise, divided
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 green onions, sliced
3 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup light sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
1 chipotle chile in adobo, finely chopped

Preparation

Preheat oven to 350\u00b0F Lightly coat a baking pan with nonstick cooking spray. Rinse and pat cod dry, then season with salt and pepper to taste. Place in pan and bake 12-15 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove from oven and let cool completely.
Using a fork, break fillets into small flakes and place in a large bowl. Add egg, 2 tablespoons of the mayonnaise plus panko and green onions. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then gently mix to combine. Form into 4 patties.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add patties; cook 5 minutes per side or until golden brown and cooked through (145\u00b0F).
For the chipotle sauce: In a small bowl, combine sour cream, cilantro, chipotle and remaining (2T) mayonnaise. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Top each cod cake with a spoonful of sauce or serve it on the side.
