Preparation

What You Need


Dipping Sauce:
1/2 cup (125 ml) low-fat Ranch dressing
2 tbsp (30 ml) shredded Canadian Monterey Jack

Fish Cakes:
1 lb (500 g) skinless fish fillets (such as haddock, sole or cod), fresh or thawed
3/4 cup (180 ml) shredded Canadian Monterey Jack
1/2 cup (125 ml) dry breadcrumbs
1/4 tsp (1 ml) each Salt
Pepper
1 egg
1 green onion, thinly sliced
2 tsp (10 ml) butter

Instructions

Dipping Sauce:
in a small bowl combine Ranch dressing and Monterey Jack. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Fish Cakes:
Finely chop pat-dried fish and place in a medium bowl. Add Monterey Jack, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, egg and green onion, mixing well. With damp hands, shape by heaping 1/3 cup (80 mL) into eight patties, each about 1/2 -inch (1 cm) thick.

In a large non-stick skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Cook patties, turning once, for about 10 minutes, or until golden and fish is opaque.

Serve with Dipping sauce.


Tips

For a satisfying packed lunch, stuff these fish cakes in a whole wheat pita half lined with lettuce. Pack the dipping sauce in a separate container to drizzle when ready. For a little oomph, try these with Bothwell Red Hot Chili Pepper Jack instead of the regular Monterey Jack!
