Blue Tortilla Fish Cakes

I got requests for more cookies: I will post more cookies soon.

Now for fish, i love fish and i try to serve it allot but i need to come up with new ways to serve it so i do not hear complaints from Michael. I wanted to make a fish cake one night, and i got started preparing them when I realized, to late to stop of course, that i had no bread crumbs left in the house, then i saw the Blue Tortilla chips and figured why not.

Blue Tortilla Fish Cakes

Ingredients

Cake
1 cup of crushed blue tortilla chips
1 red onion, diced
1 bunch of cilantro, chopped but this time we want the stems, half the leaves are for the sauce and the balance is for the garnish
olive oil
1 jalapeno, diced
about a pound and half of fish of choice, I use either Cod or Catfish
1 large egg
salt and pepper to taste

Sauce
4 oz of goat cheese
3 teaspoon of diced garlic
1 table spoon Worcestershire sauce
4 table spoons Diced Gherkins
2 Shallots diced
4 table spoons olive oil mayo
1 lime, zest and juiced
1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon Sriracha hot chili sauce, find in the at the Chinese Market

Garnish
1 lime sliced

Directions

cakes
Prehaet oven to 350 Degrees.
Place 1 table spoon of oil into a large skillet over medium high heat, now add the onions, cilantro stems (about 2 table spoons diced) and jalapeno. Saute until soft then remove from pan and set aside.
In the food processor place the fish, egg, salt and pepper to taste. Pulse a few times to combine but not to puree the fish. Next add the onion mixture and pulse a few more time. You want a lumpy texture, not to big but not to small. Remove from food processor and form into patties. Place blue tortilla crumbs into a plate and dredge cakes in the blue crumbs, coat well on each side.
Do a quick wipe out of skillet, add about a table spoon of oil to skillet over medium high heat, place enough cakes in the skillet, but do not crowd. Brown the cakes on each side, do not worry about cooking through, you just want a golden brown color on each side. Place cooked cakes on a wire rack that is on top of a cookie sheet and then cook the remaining cakes, adding more oil to the pan. Once all done, place in oven and cook for about 10 to 12 minutes, until cooked through.

While fish cakes are in the oven, place all the remain ingredients into the food processor and pulse until smooth.

Plate up cakes, spoon sauce over cakes and garnish with limes slices and cilantro.
