Ingredients

• White fish fillet (e.g., cod or haddock) - 300 grams

• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons for frying

Steps

1. In a food processor, combine the white fish fillet, breadcrumbs, parsley, dill, garlic, onion, egg, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Pulse until the mixture is well combined but still has some texture.
2. Form the mixture into small patties, about 5 cm in diameter.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the fish patties, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
