Follow The Directions

01

Step
4 mins

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil. Add tilapia fillets, salt, and pepper and cook until easily flaked with a fork, about 2 minutes on each side. Turn off the heat and shred the fish with 2 forks. Transfer to a bowl.

02

Step
2 mins

Toss the fish with bread crumbs, green onions, egg, lemon juice, feta cheese, garlic powder, dill, and hot sauce.

03

Step
1 hrs

Form patties with your hand and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

04

Step
4 mins

Set a skillet over medium-high heat. Add remaining oil. Cook patties in the hot oil until golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes on each side.

For extra crispy cakes, use panko bread crumbs instead of regular bread crumbs.
Adjust the amount of hot sauce to your preference.
These cakes are also delicious served on a bun as a fish burger.
Make sure to chill the patties for at least an hour, this helps them hold their shape while cooking.
