👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
Finely chop the white fish fillets or pulse them briefly in a food processor until coarsely ground. Be careful not to over-process into a paste.

In a bowl, combine the ground fish, finely chopped onion, chopped dill, egg, 3 tbsp flour, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined.
💡 Conseils de pro: Do not overmix, as this can make the fish cakes tough. - 3
Shape the mixture into small, flattened patties (fiskefrikadeller), about 2 inches in diameter. Lightly dust each patty with a little extra flour.
💡 Conseils de pro: Damp hands can help prevent sticking when shaping. - 4
Heat butter and oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the fish cakes in batches for about 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
💡 Conseils de pro: Ensure the oil is hot enough for a good sear. - 5
