Fish Cakes of Flounder

I love fish, and it's great to take advantage of the different varieties when they're in season. It's a wonderful way to add something new to the home menu so you don't get completely tired of the usual 10-20 dishes we typically rotate between!

Ingredients

Fish Meatballs

  • 400 gram Flounder Fillet
  • 1 pcs. Onion
  • 1 pcs. Egg
  • 16 gram Potato Flour
  • Salt and Pepper freshly ground
  • Butter for frying

Curry Sauce

  • 28 gram Butter
  • 6 gram Curry
  • 16 gram Wheat Flour
  • 400 gram Milk
  • 50 gram Cream optional

Instructions

  • Put all ingredients into your mixer and blend everything together into a uniform mixture.
  • Shape the mixture into cakes using a tablespoon.
  • Heat your frying pan and add the butter when it's hot. My cakes didn't quite get the sear I wanted, which could have been solved with a hotter pan: If you add a bit of oil to the butter, it will raise the temperature, so I recommend you try that. You can of course also use ghee, which my husband is a big proponent of.
  • Place the cakes in the very hot butter and let them fry for a few minutes on each side. If you place the cakes one by one in a spiral towards the center, you'll know exactly which cakes to turn first.

Curry Sauce

  • Melt the butter over medium heat in a pot and add curry. Let the curry "sizzle" in the butter. This enhances the curry flavor.
  • Add flour and stir well.
  • Then add milk and stir well again.
  • Let it simmer for a few minutes and optionally add cream.
  • Season with salt and pepper to taste.
