Ingredients
2
pounds mild white fish fillets (such as orange roughy or halibut), cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1
cup finely chopped onion
3
tbsp chopped fresh parsley
3
tbsp chopped fresh cilantro
3/4
tsp ground black pepper
12
tbsp (about) olive oil (for frying)
Directions
1.
Line large baking sheet with plastic wrap. Coarsely grind fish in processor. Add next 8 ingredients; blend well. Add matzo meal and egg; process until smooth, scraping down sides of bowl occasionally. With moistened hands and using 1 generous tablespoon for each cake, shape mixture into patties about 13/4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick; arrange on sheet.
2.
Heat 3 tablespoons oil in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Fry fish cakes in batches until brown and cooked through, adding more oil to skillet by tablespoonfuls as needed, about 3 minutes per side. Transfer cakes to unlined baking sheet. (Can be made 1 day ahead. Refrigerate until cold, then cover with foil and keep refrigerated. Rewarm uncovered in 350°F oven about 10 minutes.)
3.
Arrange fish cakes on plates. Spoon aioli alongside and serve
