You could also use tin tuna or tuna lite. Drain the excess water & you are good to go

Hi Tina,
Here are a few alternatives:
1. Heat up some white rice with water and cook till it forms a paste (very little).
2. Rice powder diluted iwth a little water.
3. Cornstarch diluted with water.
4. Never tried it but looks promising – Silken Tofu mashed to form a smooth paste.
5. And like Nazreen mentioned above, mashed potatoes.
Hope one of these appeal to you:)

Hi,
I would like to know if the cutlets can be baked in an oven as an alternative to frying on pan. If yes, for how many minutes?
Thanks

I deep fry mine.
To what Ankita asked, I haven’t done it myself but baking should be fine. I think 220°C should be an apt temperature. I would suggest that grilling will be better than baking. Since all the ingredients are precooked you just have to grill till the outer layer becomes crisp and brown. You will need to baste it with very little oil, to make it nice and crisp.

Hi Shamyy,
Sometimes, if the fish is cooked a little longer than necessary, it tends to be a little dry. It is perfectly ok to use the egg yolks.

Can fish cakes/cutlets be baked? Yes they can. I make crab cakes and they bake beautifully. Here’s what I do. Line a heavy baking tray with parchment paper (prevents cakes from sticking also makes for easy clean up). Brush the parchment paper lightly with oil — reason for that: helps brown the cakes. Half way thru flip them over. Takes about 20/25 minutes at 350. I have not tried broiling them for the simple reason I’d be concerned they would get too dry. I’m including my Crab Cake recipe. I love it and hope you will too.
3 tins crab meat (I buy from Costco)– drain thoroughly
Mix together:
2 tbs. green corriander, finely chopped
1 tsp. dry mustard
1 tsp. Worstershire sauce
1 tsp. Hot Sauce — Tobasco
2 eggs beaten
2 tbs. Mayo
1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs — more if you need
Salt and pepper to taste
Juice of 1/2 or 1 lemon
Plus: Saute the following 3 ingredients. Cool, then add to above ingredients.
2 medium onions finely chopped and sauted until translucent
Add 1 or 2 green chillies finely diced
1 heaped tsp. of ginger garlic paste
Add to mixture above
Lightly toss in the crab meat and bread crumbs.
Chill
Form into cakes — approx. 15 — Note: I don’t roll them in breadcrumbs here
Place on parchment paper lightly greased. Bake at 350 for approx. 20/25 minutes. Flip half way thru.
This recipe was the result of many experiments. A combination of the Maryland Crab Cake infused with an Indian flavor. ENJOY
