TILAPIA CAKES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Set aside.
• Fill a pan with an inch of water. (I used my 12-inch cast iron skillet). Place over high heat. Add the pepper, bay leaf and 2 slices of lemon to the water. Bring to a low simmer. Place the tilapia in the simmering water and cook until the flesh has whitened and cooked through, about 6-8 minutes. Using a slotted spoon carefully remove the fish from water and set aside to let cool.
• Empty the water from the pan. Over medium heat add the butter to the pan. Once melted add the celery, and onion. Saute the vegetables until onions turn translucent about 5-6 minutes. Add the garlic and cook 1 minute more. Transfer to a large bowl.
• In a small bowl whisk 1 Tablespoon mayo, mustard, eggs, salt, pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes. Add this mixture to the sautéed vegetables.
• Add the panko crumbs and chopped parsley to the large bowl and stir everything to combine.
• Flake the cooked tilapia into the large bowl full of the vegetables and sauce. Form into 6 patties.
