It's Wednesday, what's for dinner?

While on the reformer this morning at 7:30am, I mentioned that I needed a fresh idea for my family's Wednesday night dinner.  Annie, one of our tenured instructors, suggested codcakes.  Super easy, kids love them and healthy!  So I picked up frozen cod at Trader Joes and came home to make them.

This is how it all went down in about 15 minutes:

1 lb of frozen cod, defrosted, rough chopped in the cuisinart (or by hand)
1 small red onion, sauteed until translucent, also pureed in the cuisinart (so the kids can't see it!)
1 egg, whisked
tsp fresh lemon juice
tbsp dijon mustard
salt, pepper, parsley to taste

Mix all the ingredients (don't forget to saute the onion) and let them sit in the refrigerator for an hour or so.

Heat a frying pan. Form the fish into 6-8 patties, coat in bread crumbs (regular, panko, gluten-free, or almond meal as Annie used).  Fry in a bit of olive oil and serve with a veggie or salad side.
